Character actor Charles Durning died on Christmas eve at 89. He always seemed like a cool guy. One of the few actors with three purple hearts.
I always remember him in in one of his minor roles when he guest started on NCIS as an WWII vet.
RIP

Charles Durning was on the first wave of U.S. soldiers to land on Normandy Beach on D-Day. He was subsequently captured at the Battle of the Bulge and spent the rest of the war in a Nazi P.O.W. camp. Rest in Peace sir, thanks for your memorable rolls and for service to our country

Very good actor. Loved him as Coach Johnson in "North Dallas Forty" and as Jessica Lange's father in "Tootsie" (His slow burn when he recognizes Dustin Hoffman in the bar is one of the funniest parts of the movie).
