Good man and a good actor.
I have watch him play the old Marine on NCIS several times.
That is my very favorite episode of NCIS.
Rest in peace, sir.
R.I.P. Charles Durning, you certainly earned it!!
I agree on the great episode of NCIS, it's one of my favorites also!!
He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his portrayal of a Marine veteran in "Call of Silence," an episode of the television series NCIS, first broadcast November 23, 2004. Drawing on his first-hand knowledge of the lingering effects of battle-induced stress, Durning's character turns himself in to authorities, insisting that he must be prosecuted for having murdered his buddy during ferocious combat on Iwo Jima six decades earlier.[14] The real truth of the incident only becomes known for certain when the guilt-stricken veteran goes through a cathartic reliving of the battlefield events.
Spent last evening with my 93.5 year old Father-In-Law(he's got Charles by almost 4 years) who was also at the Battle Of The Bulge. He was thrilled to have received a new I-pad that was loaded up with many family pictures. It makes one wonder how many more Christmases that will happen!??
