While he has been in a TON of movies, I'll always remember him from my childhood as BJ and the Bear heavy, Hammer.

A great great character actor.

My most oft-quoted and adapted line from any movie is his from the Blues Brothers, after Jake is trying to bluff him for some money:

"You're gonna look pretty funny tryin' to eat corn on the cob with no f***in' teeth!"

Love it!

RIP. I remember him in many roles, Blues Brothers is definitely a favorite and I even remember him in a TOS Star Trek

Tucker McElroy [to Bob after they accidently drive into a lake]:
Don't you say a f*cking word!

A great character actor.

I wonder what's the longest time he's ever been without work, or even if there was such a time.
