Just one more thing… RIP Peter Falk

Peter Falk passed away at the age of 83.

Probably anyone close to a television will know Falk’s portrayal in the highly successful series Columbo a series with the (then) unusual premise of the detective already knowing the identity of the killer very early. The tension of Columbo stirred from the “how” – how would Columbo get to him.

The concept was used by other shows after Columbo (see Monk), but it never reached the “just one more thing”-awesomeness of the original series.

If you want more Peter Falk I can wholeheartedly suggest the crime-parody Murder by Death where Peter Falk plays alongside of Icons like Peter Sellers, Obi Wan Kenobi, Professor McGonagall and many many more
