Wonderful actor, and a veteran, I believe.

RIP

Just googled him and you are right, he was a junior officer in the US Army under General George Patton. Cool Hand Luke "Lord don't strike me blind!" [:D]

Never saw him in a part I didn't like. RIP George.

A very underrated actor. He could play a loveable character in one film, and then come right back and play a mean SOB in another, and be convincing in both roles.

He was a good one. Aren't many of his kind left. The old ones are mostly gone, and the younger ones are having hell keeping up.

ltcdoty

I believe he was a technical adviser for Phil Silver's tv show "Sgt. Bilko", back in the mid 1950's...and that's how he broke into show biz.

He was one of my favorite actors. I loved him as "Bumper" Morgan in "The Blue Knight". RIP, Mr. Kennedy.

I saw him in the L.A. Chinatown when he was doing an episode of that show. My sister-in-law was visiting from England. She was holding some piece of paper & he walked up & took it from her & signed it.
She looked at us & said, "Who was that & why did he do that?"

Cool Hand Luke ! Anything so innocent and built like that just gotta be named Lucille.

Also shows How cruel correction departments were like in 1930's in the South.

RIP George!
