Played Mark Twain in his one-man show, Mark Twain Tonight!, which ran for more than six decades. R.I.P.

I remember him from the Firm, Midway and the Dirty Harry / Clint Eastwood movies. Fine actor.

Rest in Peace.

I had an audio recording of that show. Most entertaining. His inflections and pauses really added to the performance.

First Cloris Leachman, then Cicily Tyson, now Hal?? All of a singular high work ethic, accomplished artistic level, and in their long careered nineties...all within a fortnite!
