    You know he's been on my mind all day. Everybody on facebook keeps saying he was a great actor and will be missed, but that's only half the truth. Actually he was a great clown. One of the first order.

    Like some other great clowns and fine actors, he believed in being serious about doing your work well, but NEVER taking yourself too seriously.
    Laughter truly is good medicine.

    I believe it was Roger Ebert that called him "The Olivier of Farce."

    But he died the way most elderly Canadians would like it- on his estate in Florida. Ba-dump-bump.

    I once heard an interview with him where he said that he watches his own films just so he can see the goofy expressions that he makes. He even made himself laugh! My whole life's philosophy was inspired by him- If it doesn't make me laugh then it's not worth doing!
