With a career that started in 1944, Kevin McCarthy has been in a number of memorable films, including the starring role in the orginal Invasion of the Body Snatchers. But I think most posters here would remember him as the evil network affiliate boss RJ Fletcher in UHF.
He was 96.
Let's celebrate his long life and career. RIP Kevin McCarthy.

Thank you for being one of the greatest character actors of all time. God bless you, sir, and god bless your time on earth entertaining us.

Damnit! I was just thinking about this guy a week ago.
Nevertheless, 96 years is quite the life. RIP Mr. McCarthy, and may you finally get the Rolex your son never gave you.

This sucks. Allow me to express how I feel about this at the 2:25 mark.
Rest in Peace, RJ.

As others have said, I love Invasion of the Body Snatchers. May have to watch it again very soon.
I haven't seen UHF in years. I need to get that again.

Did a great job in UHF, and man, 96. That's one hell of a run!
