Ironically 2/1 was also the same day that The Fog was first released - 41 years ago .

I believe the first time I saw him, or remember seeing him, he was playing Harry Truman in Give 'Em Hell, Harry. which I remember running on HBO in their earliest days.

Wow, I didn't know he was still alive. He was 95, almost 96. That's one hell of a run!

I was wrong. That wasn't Holbrook in GEHH.
It was James Whitmore who played Truman.
The American icon Holbrook was famous for playing was Mark Twain.

HH showed up frequently in my formative years- and was especially prominent in some of my favorite conspiracy themed movies post-Watergate.

Also I just realized I'm as old now as Holbrook was when he played old Father Malone.
That explains so much .

Wow, distinctive voice and acting style. RIP.

My first movie I remember with his name in it was Creepshow.

RIP

"A man's got to know his limitations."

I always liked his portrayal of Mark Twain.

He was excellent in the underappreciated Rituals.

A fine, distinctive character actor that always made the movies he appeared in better.

One of my favourite actors. Among his many magnificent performances was one in 1979's Natural Enemies, one of the best overlooked films of the '70s. That same year, he was equally good in the wickedly convoluted TV mystery, Murder By Natural Causes.

One of his other big roles was in the Star Chamber

As already mentioned, I loved him in Rituals (1977).

RIP

Was gonna ask if there's any relation to the actor Boyd Holbrook, but there isn't. Don't think I've seen this Holbrook in anything
