Obit: Jack Warden @ 85...actor on "Mr. Peepers", "N.Y.P.D." & "Crazy Like a Fox"

(From the "L-A Times")

Jack Warden, the gravely voiced character actor and two-time Oscar nominee who appeared in almost 100 feature films, has died. He was 85.

Warden, who won an Emmy award for his portrayal of crusty football coach George Halas in the 1971 television movie "Brian's Song," died Wednesday at a New York City hospital, Sidney Pazoff, his Los Angeles-based business manager, said today.

I consider Jack Warden in the same category as Eddie Albert - a natural, unassuming guy - always worked, though not a big star, and consistently good - even in poorly written roles. Though Crazy Like a Fox was hardly distinguished television, it was always fun and entertaining - a good fluffy follow-up at 9:00 Sundays to Murder She Wrote. As I remember, John Rubenstein played his long-suffering straight-laced son, and dad Arthur Rubenstein wrote the theme music.
