Let's not forget that Peter Falk did script an
episode of "Columbo." ("It's All in the Game")

First, it seems to me he works. Take a look at his recent and upcoming movies in the IMDB -- I think he has made himself busier for the last few years, than ever before in his career.

When he's relaxing, he likes to play with the dogs -- he and his wife have, I believe, a considerable pack of them. I think he's involved in the gardening around his house as a hobby, too.

But most of all, and most famously, he likes to go out to his studio in the garage and draw "naked women", from live naked models. You can see some of his art work om www.peterfalk.com.

Sounds kinds like a cross between Dr. Eric Mason and Max Barsini.

I meant that is he good in solving detectives in real life, I mean he just has to be, but it sounds like he isnt? Right?

Well..as David pointed out (and I had forgotten about..) he did write "It's All in the Game"...a newer episode that I have only seen once....

lol, only once. But that isnt proof, a lot of ppl hellp him out. Could he treally solve mysteries though?
