Great character and supporting actor George Kennedy passed at a ripe old age of 91.  RIP, thanks for the entertainment!

I only like the old horror flick Death Ship. He played the schizophrenic captain who 'assumed control' of the WWII Ghost Ship after his own passenger ship went down. I have it on VHS.
Ooh, R.I.P.

I liked him best in "Charade" with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. R.I.P.

here a photo from this movie; the fight scene on the roof between Cary Grant and him. and yes, his right hand is a metal claw (long before the James Bond claw)

Actually....Dr No had a claw in Fleming's book in 1958 and in Dr No the film in 1962....Charade was 1963.

actually the claw in James Bond movies does not appear in "Dr. No" but in "Live and Let Die", which is from 1973. Dr. No has bionic metal hands but no claw

I will always remember his "less serious" role in the ridiculous Naked Gun movies as Capt. Ed Hocken. R.I.P.
