As a kid, I watched Kelly's Heroes whenever it was on TV and loved him in it.
It was a joy to see him in so many movies throughout the years. He always elevated everything he was in. Great actor.
- KineticLensman 2y agoSee comment elsewhere about 'negative waves'. I also loved him in Kelly's Heroes, which sadly isn't mentioned in the obits I've seen so far.
- skhunted 2y agoKelly's Heroes is one of the best war movies in my opinion. He played Oddball very well. Oddball's line about how his commander was trying to get them killed since Normandy resonated with me. My dad was an infantryman in World War 2 in the European Theater of Operations. His war book had a lot dead listed in it. He underlined the ones he knew. One was a lieutenant. I asked my dad about the lieutenant and my dad's response was, "He was a West Point asshole." Being in a war doesn't make one a hero. Mostly you are fighting because you have to and your goal is for you and your buddies to survive.
- euroderf 2y agoThat's how you motivate people to kill who normally would never ever want to kill: You bond them to their workmates, and then you put them in a place where the other side is trying to kill all of them.

- muziq 2y agoI love you Oddball :) I think you had some kind of profound effect upon me when I was in single digit figures of age and watched this film with my dad.. You rock man }:-8)
