Re: Actors you would like to see/ would have liked to see in Columbo

Robert di Nero could be good?

Re: Actors you would like to see/ would have liked to see in Columbo

Hello all: I would have loved to see Diana Rigg do a "Columbo" murderess. Perhaps teamed with Patrick MacNee in "Dagger of the Mind". Another of my British favorites is Roger Moore. I would have enjoyed seeing him duel with Peter. Michael Douglas might have been fun, also. Best regards, Chris. p.s. I forgot Val Kilmer.

Re: Actors you would like to see/ would have liked to see in Columbo

The Chaplin sisters Kathleen, Carmen and Dolores as part of a family of either the victim or murderer.

Re: Actors you would like to see/ would have liked to see in Columbo

Been watching "The Fugitive" lately. David Janssen would have been fantastic as a murderer Columbo went up against. Of course, Janssen's "Columbo" killer would have insisted, "A one-legged man did it."

Also, Peter Graves would have been really cool to see take on Columbo. And in the last moment, just when Columbo nails him, Columbo would say to the murderer, "I'm sorry sir, you've just been disavowed."

Re: Actors you would like to see/ would have liked to see in Columbo

i think david janssen would have made a great murderer also. there was always a quiet mystery about him.
and yes, in a weird distorted way, columbo's villain would have said that only a 'one legged man' did it, just as columbo had said that only a deaf man could have committed the murder in 'the most dangerous match'.

loved peter graves....and yet there was another passing this week of john forsythe. he was 92, God bless him.
i think of his gentlemanly, and gracious ways, and i think he could have possibly been one of columbo's most difficult challenges. he would have finessed columbo so much...especially with that delicious voice of his.
