"You’ve heard and probably used the phrase “perfectly ordinary” in various contexts. Today consider it in a new one: as an excellent description of what Jack Klugman and Charles Durning did so very, very well. Both men died Monday, Mr. Klugman at 90 and Mr. Durning at 89. And Hollywood and the theater world lost two actors who remained remarkably employable for more than half a century because they were masters of the kind of effortless-looking acting that makes ordinary, often secondary characters believable."
Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
I always really liked Jack Klugman in those Twilight Zone episodes...he was an amazing actor and really made you believe he was going through whatever emotions he was portraying on screen. Charles Durning of course, was hilarious as Jessica Lange's father in Tootsie...the only man who could find Dustin Hoffman in drag irresistible.
God Bless these two. They will be missed.
