I know I saw him in movies other than "Henry," but he was so goddamned creepy in that it colored everything else. Kind of like Ted Levine and "Silence of the Lambs."

Wasn't he kind of a comedy actor too? I remember him being in Seinfeld.

Saw Richard Corliss introduce Double Indemnity three or four years ago. (He was extremely verbose--always qualifying what he said, often veering off on tangents.) Just on the periphery of all the critical skirmishes of the '70s--I associate him with his recasting of Sarris's auteur theory to accommodate writers.

Yeah, he was actually a pretty solid vent. Saw the latest Count Arthur Strong live show the other week where he has a vent section called Sulky Monkey which ripped off his own Little Tiny Tut but seemed also influenced by Cuddles.
