This may be totally reaching, but when I was reading Peter Falk's bio I noticed that he is Virgo. If you know anything about the zodiac signs,Virgos are detail orientated, musical, meticulous, and reliable. Physically, small compact bodies with, sometimes, an awkward gait etc.. I just thought it was kind of cool the similarities between the characteristics of this sign, Peter Falk, and the Columbo character.
