Goodbye, Doc Hopper!

And in addition to his work onscreen, a complete and utter badass in World War II.

His very presence made a movie more entertaining. I always liked him. He overcame so much in his personal life, as well.

R.I.P.

Would if be OK to say in this thread that Jack Klugman was OK but I didn't like the TV version of "The Odd Couple"?
No?
Sorry.

Goodbye, Doc Hopper!

Loved his work, he was great in The Sting, I saw Durning on a plane once, coming back from LA. He was filming a movie in Pittsburgh, to this day, still not sure what movie he was filming. He was a big, big guy, one seat couldn't hold him.

Goodbye, Doc Hopper!

Loved Charles Durning in so many roles. Loved him in "Home for the Holidays" as the somewhat crazy but lovable dad.

He was one sexy guy, Character actors usually are. RIP.
