    I guess I haven’t seen him in awhile but time keeps moving on.

    I am going to be running across his work again soon as I am almost up to his Columbo episode.

    I just found out he was in (as injured man) Jekyll and Hyde … Together Again. Huh.

    I really enjoyed him in House. He was great as the neighbor.

    RIP George. Cheers.
