I hope they play In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the pipe organ for the funeral... ala The Simpsons.

Charles Durning, the "king of character actors", died yesterday. He was 89.

Among his films were The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, To Be or Not to Be, and The Muppet Movie, and he played Santa Claus more than once.

There was something about Durning that I always liked, though I'm not sure exactly what.

I always associate him mentally with Burt Reynolds appearances; turns out that's appropriate, since they appeared together 122 times.
