I owe the Batman series for introducing me to the talents of Cliff Robertson. Charly, Midway, Spiderman, the list goes on. A great body of work that I'll always enjoy. Thank you, & RIP.

This is why I don't like seeing the "New" notification in The Cemetery, for fear it might be the news of someone I like passing away. This is the case today. Cliff Robertson was an excellent actor and a courageous man. He was black balled from film work for a time because of his honesty. He was truly a man to be admired.

Farewell to a great character actor. JFK in "PT-109," Uncle Ben in the "Spider-Man" trilogy, Hugh Heffner in "STAR 80," etc.

A truly gifted actor unaffected by all the Hollywood BS that surrounded him thru out his very productive life. I was thrilled to see him be included as Uncle Ben in Spiderman. Easy to see why he was so loved by all his fans and family... the real deal. RIP Cliff and thanks for all your wonderful work.

I also remember him from the first episode of THE OUTER LIMITES ("The Galaxy Being") and the TZ episode "One Hundred Yards Over The Rim".

The Galaxy Being has always been my favorite episode.

I have always loved his movies and I have always loved his beautiful voice. I'm gonna miss Cliff Robertson....such sad news. My grandmother used to adore him, and shared his movies and tv shows with me when I was a kid, so I have nothing but warm memories of him. We've lost another great one.

When you look at his list of credits, you realize how underappreciated he was. A fine actor. Come back, Shame!
