    We’re at the age when we’re saying goodbye to our oldest friends. _Dave,_ _So I Married An Axe Murderer,_ _The Incredible Shrinking Woman,_ _Midnight Run._ Charles Grodin was cool, a master of comedic timing & the best part of every scene he was in.

    I was surprised the he was 86. I think because he had an air of innocence about him.

    Charles Grodin has one of THE MOST “punchable” faces, I’ve ever seen. And once he starts speaking… he confirms it.

    RIP to a good man!! I loved how he always looked angry but that was just how he was. Through his angry look, he managed to bring to life characters that we could all admire.

    Grodin’s trying to hide his widows peak with the bangs combed sideways, meanwhile Conan built his career on his widows peak and side part.

    Charles groden is one of the greatest actors of all time and certainly the most underrated. I first saw him on letterman during one of his many iconic appearances. RIP to a legend

    Conan is constantly licking his lips in these old clips… was he doing a lot of coke or something?

    Bummed Charles has Left us- he was good in anything he did- Him and DeNiro in Midnight Run is a Classic- Grodin is good here, and had many good appearances with Carson, but when Charles Grodin was on David Letterman it was always must watch- with the exception of Letterman’s final year, EVERY TIME Grodin was on he truly seemed angry and annoyed at Dave- and it went on for decades, no movie plugs, no smile, just instant hostility and dislike, with Dave being defensive and uncomfortable- many times I would think “Why does Charles keep coming on? He hates Dave” – It took me years to realize it was a running bit, then it made it even funnier- that to me is one of Grodin’s greatest “roles” that seldom gets talked about

    Beethoven 1 & 2 have been part of so many people’s childhood. And he was great in them. Never knew he was 86, he looked so much younger. Bye bye sweet man!

    He was a prude. I saw Buck Dharma on his show in the 80’s and Buck made him look like an out of touch conservative square… actually he did that to himself.

    I can remember actor Charles Grodin in the movie Rosemary’s Baby and other movies, my favorite movie he was in the 1976 movie version of King Kong starring Jessica Lane and Jeff Bridges which was a remake from the 1933 classic King Kong stars Faye Wray and Todd Armstrong. Charles Grodin appeared in theater from the 1960s to the 1970s. And he made some TV appearances in the late 1950s through 2016 and since he had appearance on a few late night talk shows, he had his own late night talk show in the 1980s. Charles Grodin A good actor so dearly missed. 1935 – 2021 RIP.
