Awesome
Other than Midnight Run, him being a guest with Carson when I was a kid was the first thing I thought of.

Grodin was great. I did look it up but guy in the picture looks more like Bob Newhart.

Oh man, he was a good one. I didn’t realize Deliverance was his first film. What a way to make a first impression.
