Though he's probably best known for his wonderful turn as Lou, the growly, lovable manager in the best of all baseball movies, Major League (1989), Gammon was a veteran of many Westerns & actioners in movies & on TV, & was seriously respected as a stage actor as well, especially as a Sam Shepherd crony.
RIP also to Peter Fernandez, voice actor & writer of English dialogue for the American versions of many Japanese cartoons, including Speed Racer, for which he provided the Yank voice of the title character & wrote the immortal theme song.
On a cheerier, & likewise animation-related note, MTV is reportedly bringing Beavis & Butt-head out of retirement with new episodes! High time that the 21st-Century was subjected to the lads' commentary...
Love that guy! God bless him.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a delightful actor!
