^TCM had been reducing his workload bit by bit for the last few years, so this isn't exactly unsurprising, but I'm still very saddened. TCM is my favorite channel, and he was like the ultimate college professor who knew just how to frame what you were about to watch. He was an ambassador for classic film to modern day.

Don Rickles was a legend. Man had one of the sharpest wits around. Think I need to go watch Kellys Heroes again now.

I just happened to see his Gilligan's Island episode a few days ago.
Don: "As a kid we would play cops and robbers, and I always had to be the cop. I never got to play the good guy."
Ginger: "The cops are the good guys."
Don: "Not in my neighborhood."

He was best known for playing the racist police officer, Ronald Merrick, in the wonderful ITV Granada series The Jewel in the Crown, one of the best British TV dramas of all time.
A more recent role was as Creedy in V for Vendetta.
