Thanks, I enjoyed that. He was an unmistakable character in his movie roles.

That was good! I always liked him. Don't ever remember him playing anything but the kind of guy he was "Good"

Loved him in Blazing Saddles and The Gettaway. Great character actor.

Haven't seen it in many years, so it might seem "dated" by now, but he had a bit role in a 1967 movie called "The Flim Flam Man" which starred George C. Scott, Michael Sarrazin and Harry Morgan, among others. He plays to the hilt a rube getting conned. I really enjoyed the movie when I saw it many years ago. He and Scott were pretty much the stand-outs in that one.

Pickens is an all-time favorite of mine and he rode that bomb to the end.

One of the best. Never a leading man, but every movie he was in was made better by his presence.
I'm a big fan.

Blazing Saddles was the pinnacle of his incredible body of work ...IMHO...
