I loved him so, not just as Columbo -- though Columbo was AWESOME -- but in other roles too. R.I.P.

He was wonderful in "Griffin and Phoenix"; a movie for TV, with Jill Clayburgh.
I'll miss him,
RIP

I always liked his character on Columbo - just the right mix of smart and odd. Very much like "Monk." I saw a few of his other roles and they were equally good, but Columbo really was multi-dimensional, thanks to Falk's acting. He's been ill for some time, which is sad.
RIP

I went looking at IMDb to see if I could remember a couple of my favorite movies of his -- and there were so many more than I even remembered!
Murder by Death
The Cheap Detective
The In-Laws
Robin and the 7 Hoods
Pocketful of Miracles
Roommates
And of course The Princess Bride. He was wonderful in all of them.Charter member of the "We Always Believed in Ashley" Club

Oh no, that is sad. So many great performances, it's hard to pick one ... though if I had to pick, it would probably be The Princess Bride.
RIP, Peter

Wow, I loved him in Columbo and the Princess Bride but he is also so funny as Max in one of my favorite movies of all time, The Great Race.
