I loved him in the Great Muppet Caper. Unfortunately, I am getting to that point in my life where actors in shows from my youth are passing away. How sad.

Damn, that sucks. Beethoven 1 & 2 are among my favorite childhood movies and I still like to rewatch them when they're on tv.

Wow, talk about a coincidence. For some weird reason I got into a Youtube bender on his appearances on Carson and Letterman. What a funny man. One of the more unique guests. Just passed a little over a week ago.

RIP funny man

I watched a number of his Carson/Letterman appearances on Youtube too this week before I found out he'd died just a few days earlier. Youtube obviously began recommending these videos to a lot of people.

Midnight Run awesome movie.

Anyone ignoring this as his best movie is simply wrong/silly. A classic that has aged well. RIP

yeah, Bonnie Hunt (who played his wife in Beethoven) is 59 today, that's about how old he was (57) when they filmed Beethoven in 1992

crazy to think about honestly

When Markie Post dies (she's 70 now!), my heart will break. She was the hottest milf during those Fall Guy/Night Court/Hearts Afire days.

Yeah, Shocking news. 15 Storeys High was a vastly underrated show, hidden away on BBC3. I think it's one of the best British sitcoms for sure, if you haven't seen it then it's definitely worth seeking out.

Yeh someone told me to watch it, because the humour is right up my alley

I'd never even heard of 15 Storeys High until I was reading about Sean. I want to watch it, he was brilliant on all the panel shows. 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown was a great show, and Channel 4 have compilations that I've watched a few times.
