Additional Details
Other Works:
His final filmed performance was a comedic death scene for the comedy series _"Police Squad!" (1982)_ (av). When he died soon after filming it, the producers chose not to air the sequence out of respect. Before "Police Squad!" was released on DVD a search was made for that footage so it could be put on the DVD as an extra, but it could not be found and is now presumed lost. morePublicity Listings:
