He was one of the great character actors in Hollywood. He played a perfect general and politician. Seriously. When I first saw him in Apocalypse Now, I thought he was a former military officer.

Thank you all for your well-wishes and support.
I shared this thread with my aunts and uncles. They were supprised that people here knew of him. I had to explane that this is the RPF and what movie geeks we really are.
And it was no suprise that the members here would be familiar with his work.
Thank you all.

Are you kidding - the man was a fantastic actor. He's one of those people who was could alter not just his performance but his looks as well in order to convey a character - Watch him in Ed Wood as opposed to any other movie - he could make himself look different. Your uncle will be missed - there are so few actors of nature around - so few.
God's probably already given him a part to play that no one else could do.

I saw the thread, but couldn't put him somewhere, I just recently watched "Intruders" and then I saw his name - he played the deadly serious General Hanley. My condolences to you.
