George Kennedy
From Cool Hand Luke, to Naked Gun and the Airport franchise.
I best remember him as a character actor appearing in dozens of TV shows and films in the 70s and 80. He always seemed like such a steady, good guy.
RIP Mr. Kennedy.

Wow…I thought he must have already been dead for some time. haha
He was 91 ey? Well..R.I.P.George, you had a good run and were one bad ass dude back in the day.
Awe that’s sad. May his memory live on
He was in so many movies it’s hard to remember them all. A consummate actor. Never flashy, but always strong.
Good bye, George.
The first time I remember seeing him, he was a bad guy in Charade (1963) with an all-star cast: Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau and James Coburn. He was a great bad guy when given the role. Good night, George.
Stalwart.
When I think of George Kennedy, the word stalwart comes to my mind. He always seemed such a strong, steady guy.
Like someone you dream of running for President of the United States.
He reminded me of Ward Bond. Great in a huge variety of characters and genres.
George Kennedy died four years ago. Why are you only mentioning him now?
This question is four years old.
@filmfann It only just showed up here yesterday, hence my answer yesterday. I wasn’t even here four years ago.
