As they say, deaths come in threes, and following Don Knotts and Darren McGavin comes the news that Dennis Weaver has passed away at the age of 81. He was a better actor than many people might think, and I will always love him for his hilarious portrayal of the marijuana-phobic motel manager in Touch of Evil. ("Ah'm the night man!") Adios, amigo.
P.S. Here's a link to the five-part on-line interview with Weaver from the archives of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
