One of my favorites all time. Never better comedically than in 'The In-Laws', or dramatically in his work with John Cassavetes..

Kasept, can you tell us a story about the price of gas when you were a youngster.

3. Dino Capisco in Cookie

See each in addition to the Classic "The Inlaws" and "The Princess Bride"

Hey watch it....I can remember my Grandpa driving in Tenn (we live in Indiana) and bitching cause we paid .35c a gallon and it was only .28c in Tenn.

Us old fu**ers gotta stick together Kasept.

Vig was also a good one. That's where he played the mob-connected bookie who operated a bar in Boston? He was trying to "get out from under".....
