RIP

I was a fan of some of the movies he made in the 1980s.


If you can't read the NY Times link, he died of Bone Marrow cancer

Oh that's so sad. I was just thinking about Midnight Run today and recently rewatched So I Married An Axe Murderer, which he has a fun cameo role in. He was always so great.

Decker

Bummer. He was so funny. I loved him so much in my favorite movie of all time

And of course he's amazing in Midnight Run

Any Beethoven fans?

RIP.

When I started to think of his roles, I immediately went back to Seems Like Old Times. He was a talented actor who will be missed.

Early memories of him in Seems Like Old Times and The Great Muppet Caper from the '80s.



RIP Charles Grodin

So many great comic roles. I'll toss a shout-out to his role in Real Life.

I remember flipping through the channels many years ago and stumbling across his talk show. I thought how great, this should be really funny. Yeah, not that kind of talk show. I'm sure it was fine for what it was but not what I was expecting from a Charles Grodin talk show.

RIP Man.

That's mine as well. Everyone was giving it their A game in that movie, but Charles was on fire.

Jack Straw

Heartbreak for The Heartbreak Kid.

Alan Smithee

One of the first movies I projected. Didn't know he was in Rosemary's Baby.

First saw him in Beethoven as a kid, really enjoyed his performance in The Woman in Red.

GoldenJCJ

Damn, that’s sad. He was one of the greats!

I loved him in the already mentioned Seems like Old Times and Midnight Run.

I also enjoyed his small role in Dave and his fun cameo in So I Married an Axe Murderer.

Actually the only thing I’ve seen him in. Didn’t know it was him though. RIP.

Decker

Anyone who hasn't watched Midnight Run needs to rectify that right away.

Midnight Run is one of the all-time great comedies. Arguably Grodin’s best role.

Crocker Jarmen

That show was really strange, the way I remember it, it came across as an early FOX NEWS kind of show. The one that sticks out in my mind is from when SOUTH PARK's first season premiered, and he was essentially doing a "re-action video" to the program. They had a split-screen of him and scenes from the show, and he would sadly shake his head and make tisk-tisk sounds at every joke, asking, "Now why would they have that... Oh! That's just unneccessary..."

Midnight Run stays in my heart as one of the best movies of the 80's.

His numerous wonderful appearances on Johnny Carson can be found on YouTube.

Mike86

Yeah, actually funny enough before he passed I was watching a guy on YouTube talking about his favorite comedies and he named it as a favorite.

Did anyone see Last Resort from 1986? I guess it’s an 80s sex comedy with Grodin. It’s got horrible ratings. Just curious if it’s that bad. I never saw it.

I see you can watch it for free on Tubi or Pluto.

rennervision

Criminy. I just watched King Kong 1976 last night.

BrewCrew

Was recently recommended one of his interviews with Carson and have watched a bunch of those with Carson and Letterman the last couple of weeks. Hilarious stuff.

Troy Stiffler

Lots of good mentions in here.

Loved his doctor role on Louie.

OldBoy

I was sad when I saw CNN alert. I was sadder when no one I work with, all 3 of them, one just a little younger, didn’t know who he was.

OldBoy

I loved him in that Jim Belushi movie, Taking Care of Business, I think. Saw in theaters. Left good impression. Haven’t seen it since.
