I remember him best when he stared (I was a very young lad at the time) in the movie - Forbidden Planet.

Hi,

   Forbidden Planet was a favorite of mine.  Fresh Air rebroadcast
an interview yesterday.

Hi,

   A mish-mash of TV comments...  The only one I remember
is Police Squad, and its guest star introductions.

He was ahead of his time.

He seemed to me to have a good view of life and he looked for and found the unique and funny things that occur in our world.
