Vito is great, but I have to say, over the years, that I have always considered Richard Libertini a favorite. He was ALWAYS funny, whether it's a cameo as a house painter in some TV sketch, or a great role like General Garcia in "The In-Laws". I was glad when he finally got to reunite with Peter in "Columbo," as the Sheik in "Ashes to Ashes".
I have too many to name. When it comes to COLUMBO, another great one is Bruce Kirby. Among other things, he has that great "weary" look when Columbo is doing something especially odd.
I agree.
Bruce is by far my favorite police sergeant. And that weary look of his was an excellent counter point. Even as a tv repairman he had that look! I agree. It was nice to see him and his son in the same spisode. Just wish they would had hsd a scene or two together
