LA Times Obituary: http://www.latimes.com/news/obituari...tory?track=rss

I had just bought "UHF" a few days ago and was planning on watching it this week. A great comedic performance that I bet a lot of people never saw.

Sad to hear.

One of those guys that you thought would always be around forever.

I was lucky enough to meet him at a convention a couple years ago and had him sign a Body Snatchers lobby card for me. Always loved him in that one and UHF.

He was always a likable on-screen presence, even in B-grade stuff like Piranha and The Howling.

Wow, he was 96? Man. What a life.

He was great in UHF and Innerspace

Sad to hear.

"You're next!"

Oh, crap.

I thought this thread was about that "Weekend At Bernies" dude.

Sad, but 96...wow. RIP.

Ugh! I thought he'd stay with us forever.

R.I.P. Mr. Jameson.

I remember him from a live- action computer game called Pandora Directive. Sounds like he got his money's worth out of this life. RIP.

He was also one of Montgomery Clift's closest friends, featured prominently in Patricia Bosworth's Clift bio.

Wow! I did not realize he was 96. Sad to hear he passed away.

I really, really, really liked Kevin McCarthy's work and I'm genuinely sad to learn he has passed. A wonderful actor with some wonderful roles. I miss him already.

I was just watching him in Eddie Murphy's The Distinguished Gentleman. Wow, 96.

He was a pretty youthful looking guy - 40-plus in Body Snatchers, but looked a decade younger.

I only knew him from UHF but I thought he had died years ago. RIP.

"You're next! ...You're next!!"

His passing became the subject of tonight's Grandparent's Day dinner conversation. My in-laws remembered him in A Big Hand for the Little Lady, to me he'll always be the team owner in Kansas City Bomber, and to my kids he was the black & white guy from Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Damn, what a career.

I just watching Piranha (1978) last tuesday in DVD.

For better or worse, I best remember him as Uncle Walt in Twilight Zone: The Movie.

And a scant few days ago, there he was showing up on my TV in Matinee, poking fun at the b-flicks. What a cool guy!

96 is too young to die.
