Just watched The 'Burbs a few hours ago. Sad.

He was always a highlight on Boston Legal, even when that show got intolerably preachy.

Re: RIP Henry Gibson

Henry Gibson was great in so much. From Nashville to the voice of Wilbur in Charlotte's Web to Dr. Klopek from The Burbs to even a quick walk-on as the fired employee in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, he never disappointed in even a bad movie. It is yet another sad day in Hollywood.

And to think The Burbs is on HBO Comedy in 12 minutes. Must watch now in honor of this great actor.

I haven't seen much of his work but I really enjoyed him in everything I have seen. RIP Henry.

Re: RIP Henry Gibson

I'll remember him most as Martin Short's manager at Safeway in Innerspace.

RIP Mr. Gibson

Very sad...I've loved him in everything I've seen him in... Laugh-in, Nashville, The Long Goodbye, The Blues Brothers, The Burbs, Magnolia...

RIP

Re: RIP Henry Gibson

Sing it with me now:

Unpack your bags and try not to cry.
I can't leave my wife -- there's three reasons why.
There's Jimmy, and Kathy, and sweet Lorelei...
For the sake of the children, we must say goodbye.
For the sake of the children, we must say goodbye.

'Cos Jimmy's been wishin' that I'd take him fishin'
His Little League pitchin' is something to see
And Kathy's thirteen now; she's my little queen now,
And I've gotta see who her beau's gonna be.

Unpack your bags and try not to cry.
I can't leave my wife -- there's three reasons why.
There's Jimmy, and Kathy, and sweet Lorelei...
For the sake of the children, we must say goodbye.
For the sake of the children, we must say goodbye.

But you are my true love, the one that I do love,
But I've got to stay with the woman I wed.
Laurie's just walkin', she just started talkin',
And Daddy's the first word that she ever said!

Re: RIP Henry Gibson

One of those faces most people know, but not the name that goes with it. He looks a little like Roddy McDowell.
