RIP Charles Grodin
Charles Grodin, Star of ‘Beethoven’ and ‘Heartbreak Kid,’ Dies at 86
A familiar face who was especially adept at deadpan comedy, he also appeared on Broadway in “Same Time, Next Year,” wrote books and had his own talk show.

Look for his clips vs. Letterman on Youtube.

Clifford is a criminally underrated movie of his.

Midnight Run is one of my favourite films. He’s brilliant in it.

Midnight Run is by far my favorite Grodin performance. Such a great movie.

Norm!
He was terrific in Dave and Midnight run. I don't think there has been anyone better then him in terms of deadpan comedy.

One of my favorite scenes from Midnight Run. The chemistry between Grodin and De Niro was just so good.

I was thinking, ‘he died young’.
His age in the obituary shocked me.

No love for The Great Muppet Caper? It was one of my favorite movies growing up.

I enjoyed his show in the 90s. Dana Carvey did a great impression of it:
