One of my favorite movie scenes of all time is when he sneezes on the biker Black Widow's arm when the biker is showing him his Black Widow tattoo.

He truly was a class act all the way. If there is any character type I'd like to play its his.

On April 7, 2015, Lewis died of natural causes in his Woodland Hills residence.[6] Besides his daughter actress and singer Juliette Lewis; his other daughters are Brandy, Hannah and Dierdre Lewis and Emily Colombier; his sons, Peter, Lightfield, Miles and Matthew. He also leaves nine grandchildren.

Good actor.

Unfortunately, since he was a Scientologist, therefore not saved, here is his new home:

Hope this helps.

He was good to Tango and Cash, so he is alright in my book.

bradistani · « **Reply #21 on:** April 10, 2015, 03:15:54 PM »

great character actor with a very impressive body of work. he was excellent in THE DEVILS REJECTS and very memorable in one of my favourites, SALEMS LOT.

also recently dead, though just made public, is richard dystart (LA LAW), aka doc copper in THE THING.

oh, and also, tom towles, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and THE DEVILS REJECTS.

gentlemen, rest in peace.
