An actor who could have you in splits without really cracking silly jokes. He would speak with a dead pan expression & have you laughing.
Seamlessly moving from screen to the stage was his forte. In the worldly way he wasn’t handsome. He had a solid frame. Fatty. But his ability to move you was phenomenal.
A rare breed of actors.
