Subject: Michael Constantine runs out of Windex

Gus was (one of) my favorite characters in that movie. My great-grandmother was actually Greek.

Constantine was also in The Hustler (with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason), Don't Drink the Water (also with Gleason), Voyage of the Damned (not Village), Prancer (as Santa Claus), and Stephen King's Thinner.

Don't forget what is possibly his greatest claim to fame. The role of high school principal Seymour Kaufman on "Room 222" (1969-1974), for which he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 1970. That's certainly when he came into my frame of reference.

With the lovely Karen Valentine.  :-*

Apparently he died on Tuesday of last week. :\'(

I didn't see the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but I do know his name. RIP Mike, you lived a good long life.

I liked him in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and several small parts on many favorite TV shows - he'll be missed    :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

Yes, he won an Emmy for Room 222. He also appeared in episodes of several shows, including three of The Fugitive.

At least we still have Karen and Denise Nicholas from Room 222. And I'm sure that most of the students are still with us. RIP, Principal Kaufman.

I don't know how, since Hari Rhodes died earlier, but a half-reunion would be doable.
