The last movie I saw him in was "Men in Black/MIB". He had a voice that was recognizable for sure. I can't recall all the movies he was in but didn't know he made that many as a "star" sorta thing. Regardless, he did well to last so long. RIP, adios -----Willy

He'll be missed along with the good natured pedophelia of Capt. Oveur.
Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Unger.
Mr. Unger: Oveur.
Mr. Dunn: Oveur.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work.
Simon: Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?
Mr. Unger: Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur, and I was under Dunn.
Mr. Dunn: Yep.
Simon: So, Dunn, you were under Oveur, and over Unger.
Mr. Dunn: Yep.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Uhh, that's right. Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.
Mr. Unger: So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.

He used to have an Australian TV series as well if I recall correctly, and Mission Impossible was one of my favorite programs.
Sad.

facial resemblance to cause problems, once he changed his name. Both tall guys, though.
