Better known as Detective Columbo, I remember him best as Max (Professor Fate's lackey).

He was also memorable as the rogue CIA agent in the original The InLaws and as the grandpa in The Princess Bride

I just watched Falk as Max last week - I recorded "The Great Race"....pity there was so much  hassle over visitation by his daughter...

Rest well, Detective Columbo...

My love for sunday Columbo sessions has become a bit of joke with my family, we usually go to the inlaws for sunday dinner but I insist on my weekly 2pm fix of the great scruffy detective.....my family take the micky but they are all Columbo converts now.

Another pair of great roles of Peter Falk were as Sam Diamond in MURDER BY DEATH and as one of the cab drivers in IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD.

One of my favorite actors.  From The Twilight Zone to The Trials Of O'Brien and Columbo to The Princess Bride.  Whenever I see him in a movie, I think of my Dad, as his favorite tv shows were COLUMBO and THE ROADRUNNER/COYOTE cartoons!

Another pair of great roles of Peter Falk were . .

And don't forget Falk and Alan Arkin in "The In-Laws".

[Unknown Primate]

I think the last film I saw him in was, The Thing About My Folks, from 2005.  He was quite a character in it!

I remember as a kid seeing a TV Guide article that showed how his coat was made to look like it does....if I remember, there were numerous coats ready to use.  Mike, you would not happen to have that Guide around or remember it by chance?

Me? No, but I think I do remember it.
