Just one more thing.... Peter Falk, Legend! R.I.P

June 24th 2011, aged 83, legendary screen detective Peter Falk, aka Columbo, passes away at his home.  

So many clips on youtube, here are just a few.

This is one of the funniest clips I've found.... Peter Falk as Lt. Columbo on a Celebrity Roast from 1977.  Peter Falk was a true legend... and funny too! :-)

Another one....

Just one more thing....

Peter had a long career with many great performances.... from 1959 through to 2008!  I remember him well in "The Princess Bride"..... Great movie!

He will of course be forever remembered as the forgetful, haphazard, bumbling, scruffy Lt. Columbo.  If you haven't seen Columbo in a while, I would strongly suggest you head on out to your local DVD shop and pick up one of the boxsets.... timeless sleuthing!  Full of so many special guest stars and guest directors, Patrick McGoohan, for one, starred in a number of episodes and directed a bunch too.... Watching Columbo is like taking a walk down memory lane....
Peter Falk, a true legend.... Just one more thing.... R.I.P.
