Sad to hear this.

The Naked Gun films are among my favorite of all time.

Looking over his credits I can't believe all the '50s and '60s shows he guest-starred in. The earliest job of his I recognize is the original Flight Of The Phoenix (1965), of which I own a copy to this day. I saw a couple of his earlier movies, but I don't remember them well enough to identify him with them.

He was one of my favorite actors, I remember well as a supporting actor in shows like the Naked Gun series.

Sadly missed.

He was the perfect straightish guy to Leslie Nielsen, enjoyed him in The Naked Gun series.

RIP and thanks for the laughs.

Very sad news: he was such a familiar and kindly face.

R.I.P.! Great actor and with a long and full career. I remember a film that TCM always aired, he was the old sheriff in a south town and the new elected one was black - actor Jim Brown.

Somehow I never thought he got the accolades he truly deserved.

RIP George
