There is nothing great that can be said of Peter Falk that he doesn't deserve. This was an American actor of the highest order. Peter Falk didn't do bad stuff because his presence made the project good.

He is known best for the iconic and quirky character of Lieutenant Columbo which will live forever with anyone who saw even a tiny bit of the series. A complete filmography is below but his roles ranged from small to starring and he maintained that same high degree of excellence til the end of his career. Some of his least known movies are some of his best as well because Falk always created "characters" that fit each part so well.   

I have missed him since the Alz was announced and I am glad its over for him now but the American cinema has lost a real giant. And btw, he was one helluvan artist as well!
