Herb Edelman


What a delight to see Herb Edelman as the phone guy. He held his own against Redford and Fonda, which was no small feat. I will always think of him as Stanley Zbornak from "The Golden Girls," but he was terrific in this film as well. May he rest in peace.

I would love to have seen him onstage.

He was HILARIOUS in this and a total scene stealer. I'll always think of him as Stan from TGG, too, but he was just as superb here.

Great actor, may he rest in peace.

Where does fantasy end and reality begin?

Indeed. He really found his calling as Stanley Zbornak, but he's absolutely hilarious here. I'm sorry he's no longer with us. I love those great supporting players from this era of film.
