      There are a few comics that have ended up being quite good actors. Tom Hanks, Greg Kinnear and Jonah Hill has been the latest
      Kevin has been such a smooth fit for so many second tier/first tier roles with some of the greatest directors and actors. DeNiro, Pesci, Nicholson, Matthau, Lemon, Spacey, Scorsese, Rickles...he's had an unbelievable career.

    Love love love Grumpy old men, I have it on DVD, watch it once a year.
    Our oldest son was in isolation due to leukemia, I brought Grumpy old men to his room to watch; it was the first time he'd laughed in a month.
    That memory is one I hold dear to my heart. He passed away 3 weeks later.

    Grumpier Old Men is sheer perfection. One of the few sequels that was better than the first.
    Mathau and Lemmon. What a duo!

      Burgess stole the movie and Sophia Loren as Maria Ragetti was the perfect addition to the ensemble! Everything was smoother, the script was better and funnier and the pacing was far better than the first one. Memorable and endearing performances from everyone involved!

    When I was about 18 I worked at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. There was a horse called "Mikey Likes It", after the Life Cereal ad. I used to love it when legendary track announcer Darrel Wells would say "Mikey Likes It coming up the rear..."

    We, my family and I, actually were able to watch the filming of the movies. One of the scenes we were able to watch, was the Halloween scene from Grumpier Old Men, we were standing in the front yard of the house next to 'Walter's house'. Front row 'seats'. It was amazing to watch. Walter and Kevin were on the porch of the house and Walter accidentally pinched his finger in the screen door. He let out a yell, and filming stopped immediately. The director, etc all ran up to the door and Jack came running down the sidewalk to make sure Walter was okay. A few minutes later, the paramedics are calling for ice and Walter yells out: 'Ice! Ice! My kingdom for some ice!' Everyone on the porch and within hearing distance, lost it laughing. A great experience and memory.

    I love that in one of his last movies, Out to Sea, Walter Matthau plays a gambler who goes on a cruise to find a "rich broad" to hook up with so he can pay off his gambling debts.

    My cousin lives in Pacific Palisades CA and has met many celebrities, as a realtor he's had Farrah Faucet in his passenger seat because her limo couldn't do the sharp curves up the driveway of a home for sale she wanted to see. And a favorite of mine is years ago he was at a hardware store near his home years ago, Walter Matthau lived up in the hills near there, and while my cousin was in this hardware store, the door opens, and it's Walter. He watches Walter walk to the counter with his old soldering iron that's not working, and asks the guy if he can order parts so he can fix it himself. The guy says "Walter, I don't know if I can even find parts for it, it's so old. Why don't you just buy a new one and save time, Walter says yes, that sounds like a good idea, so he buys a new one. And my cousin is standing near them watching & listening to this exchange. Walter was a frequent visitor to this hardware store, and he liked to tinker and fix things by himself. My cousin has met Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jake Lemon, Howard Morris 'Ernest T. Bass' And once he was walking and Dick Van Dyke was walking next to him, they had a nice talk. I love my cousin's celebrity meeting stories.

    Worked in an orthodox jewish deli/restaurant years ago on the lower east side in NYC and remember an old man who also worked there mentioning Matthau as being a degenerate gambler. Old man had a few stories about several actors & actresses of that era.

    One of my all time favorite Beatles songs! Thanks Mike. As a lifelong guitar hack, I know this song was way ahead of it's time for the volume swells used in it. Just brilliant.
    And George's voice is just as good as the others, just so much talent in one small space.
