Just One More Thing: Peter Falk, 1927-2011

Remembered: the actor who was indivisible from the role of Columbo

Peter Falk: 'I’ve always said that Columbo was an ass-backwards Sherlock Holmes'

A few years ago I chanced upon something truly surreal. I was driving along a track in New Zealand. The way you do. There was a field on the left. In it there was a man sitting on a portable chair, a sketchpad in his lap, a pencil in his hand. Gathered in front of him, like a cluster of attentive disciples, was a tight semi-circle of cows. The man was wearing a black suit in a style popular at the end of the 19th century. The surreal bit is that, despite the grizzly beard, this was Columbo. None other than.

I think I would probably be a better actor if I hadn’t spent so much time playing Columbo

83? That is a long time to live! None of your suspects / victims ever lived to that age! Not one. You will be sorely missed by me and others who felt the same way about investigating crimes [FBI Style]......... No Drama..
