That sucks. :( Scary too,he was only 2yrs older than I am.
Kevin McCarthy also passed away at 96. He was in the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
(that movie scared the hell outta me when I first saw it.) :eek:

Kevin McCarthy was also the evil owner of the big, crosstown rival to UHF Channel 62 in "UHF." I loved the scene where the little old lady knees him in the groin! :twisted:

Ah, yes. He set up one of the best lines in that movie:
[INDENT]R.J. Fletcher (McCarthy): This is an embarrassment. A disgrace. What do you think R.J. Fletcher Senior would be saying if he were alive today?

Richard Fletcher: "Help me out of this box, I can't breathe in here. Help, let me out." [/INDENT]
