My roommate remembers him as the voice of Lumiere, from "Beauty and the Beast". Regardless of who people remember him as, he will be missed...

It still cracks me up everytime I hear it that he did that voice. I just can't get Lumiere and Brisco to blend in my head. I get a hard-boiled and amorous NY cop who snaps out his sarcasm in a French accent...

I didn't know he died. Bummer. I just saw the retirement ep. of L&O, too, last week.

They said he was ok and doing well with treatment. What a bunch of liars. I thought he was great. :(

Me too; he was the big reason why I became such a fan of the show in the first place. First Jimmy Doohan having Alzheimer's, then Christopher Reeve dying, and now this. It seems as though people who are heroes of mine are dropping like flies...

Oh man! I had no idea he was ill. That's terrible. I'll always remember him from an old episode of Buck Rogers where he rocked this ensemble:
