Personal Quote:

Colombo has a genuine mistiness about him. It seems to hang in the air. He's capable of being distracted. I remember one case where it was 20 minutes into the teleplay before he realized he hadn't taken off his pajamas. Colombo is an ass-backward Sherlock Holmes. Holmes had a long neck, Colombo has no neck; Holmes smoked a meerschaum pipe, Colombo chews up six cigars a day at a quarter apiece. See more »

Peter Michael Falk passed away on June 23, 2011, three months away from what would have been his 84th birthday on September 16. See more »
