Damn, I guess the ill health rumors a while back were true. (Rumor was he had had a stroke I believe?) He was a fantastic actor. Ill always remember him as Bob Morton, as it was such a great role. The character was a sleazeball, but you couldnt help but love him. Come to think of it, most of his characters were sorta like that, tough mean guys, that in the long run were quite likable. As a hispanic man myself, I always looked up to him, not just for the fact that he was a great hispanic actor, but the style of such characters he played. The complex a-hole types. Always been my favorite, maybe because I always wanted to be a little bit like that. I grew up watching his roles, and he was one of the awesome hispanic actors I saw on tv and movies again and again that left a mark, and made you genuinely curious about them, him and Ricardo Montalban personally. Not many left now.
Its gonna be strange but good seeing him again as Albert for one last time in the new season of Twin Peaks I suppose.
