Truly one of those rare individuals whose eyes, facial expressions, body language, voice tone and delivery exemplified "deadpan". A master of subtlety. And the main reason I watched "Taxi" and most any other work he was in as well.

I probably quoted this same moment on one of those other two threads. Barney finds Fish pulling up his pant leg to hold up his sock with a rubber band.
BARNEY: That's very nice, but I'm afraid you'll still have to do some light typing. (PAUSE) Aren't you afraid you're going to cut off your circulation?
FISH: What circulation? At my age, wherever the blood is -- that's it.
I had heard he lived in my neck of the woods back in Jersey. Sure enough, I and a few relatives were eating at the local diner and there he was in a nearby booth. This was a little over ten years ago, I reckon. He looked shrunken, but that just may have been the difference between screen and real life.
"..Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him..."
The line about "for old time's sake" always moves me.
He seemed to have a great sense of humor. I always found it charming how he frequented Conan O’Brien’s late night show just to make a very short appearance each time.

Agreed.
He's the main reason I watch "Back to the Future."
Why I oughta...oh and my Dad saw a production while stationed in Hawaii (?) in WWII and Karloff played Jonathan Brewster. What a hoot that must have been. Always love the line when Massey says, "...and something of a magician!" His expression was priceless.
