Ditto what Dave said! I grew up watching Streets with my dad and it was a great show. RIP Karl, you'll be missed.

He played a sympathetic Omar Bradley in 'Patton'.

RIP, Karl.

He won an oscar for his role in 'A StreetCar Named Desire' (1951). He lived a good life.

Always liked Karl. Among the greatest character actors ever. Remember well The Streets of San Francisco, the quintessential Quinn/Martin production show of the 70's.

RIP, Karl. You were a class act all the way.

I just realized something about Karl, that he had one thing in common with Micheal Jackson. Both were Hoosiers from Gary,IN.

R.I.P. Karl, you deserve it.

Yes. Definitely a class act.

When I use to watch T.S.O.S.F., I'd say to myself, those locations look familiar.

Hmmm! I wonder why?

That series, in a way, reminded me of Bullitt.

He was good.

R.I.P.
