This bums me out more than Jobs.

That show was truly ahead of its time and Duke was that show's best character by a mile.

my favorite non-Orson Welles bit on The Critic that I used to quote all the time was Duke's line about "that colored toilet paper you Frenchies call money" from the Cannes episode.

Growing up with that movie, I remember how happy I was to see him in Silence of the Lambs. He will be missed.

And that's to say nothing of his roles in the first two Austin Powers movies (You know, the good ones.), as well as the judge in "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Maybe he wasn't the most well-known actor, but man, did he get some good roles in some great movies. And good up on him for still getting roles into his 70s, per IMDB.
Why yes, I am both a musician and a lawyer. Thanks for asking. :) |
