First thing I remember him from is Magnum Force.

RIP.

A prolific actor and good at his craft.  He will be missed.  RIP Mr. Holbrook.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

R. I. P.  Mr. Holbrook.

I saw him live playing Mark Twain years ago.  He was very good.  He quiped,  out of character to the audience, "the older I get, the less make-up  I need."   He will be missed.
