Superb character actor who's career spanned 70+ years. Perhaps best remembered from the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". He also appeared in "The Misfits" with Marilyn Monroe. In the 1970's through the 1990's he also appeared in many genre cult classics.

R.I.P. (1914-2010)

Wow, 96! I had no idead he was that old. I hven't seen  the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but I remember him from a few Joe Dante films such as Innerspace, The Twilight Zone Movie, and Piranha.

96 years old and died of natural causes? Way to go sir!

And R.I.P.

R.J. Fletcher in UHF. One of my faves of all time.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

I watched Matinee recently, where Kevin had a uncredited cameo playing "General Ankrum". That cracked me up. I also remember him fondly from Innerspace. And even at 96 he kept on working! What a guy! Yes, he will be missed!
