news Philip Baker Hall 1931-2022

Give me a minute, I'm still not over Burgess Meredith.

Phillip Hall was one of those guys that was just ubiquitous throughout television. I literally can't remember how many things I've seen him in, and he always did a great job. RIP.
 
I don't have a favorite movie or tv show with Philip Baker Hall because he was equally great in all that he did.
Remember him as Mr. Bookman, the library cop on Seinfeld? He stole the episode!
I almost shit when I saw Boogie Nights and he said "I like simple pleasures like butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. That’s just me. That’s just something I enjoy. Call me crazy, call me a pervert." If you watch when he delivers that line you can see Robert Ridgely sitting on a couch behind him trying desperately to conceal his laughter. It was priceless.. Reminded me of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman on the Carol Burnett show.

Ahhh, nobody will replace such great talent.... Not even close.
 
What a great actor can do with a little comic bit, being annoyed by Larry David, lol. Yes, RIP.
