He was a character for sure. Saw him interviewed and he is a lot like his Columbo dude.

Columbo was a great character. Bless him.

God bless him, he seemed like a warm person. His character Columbo is perhaps the only detective who did not use violence. Peter loved chess also.

That I did not know. Do you know of any recorded games by him?

Just been watching episodes back-to-back. I'm starting to think in a Chicago accent. A true great that will not be forgotten 😉

Do you have the DVD's or are you being naughty and streaming them online, because if you are I would be absolutely distraught if you were to PM me the link as I can't find them anywhere... 😛

Peter Falk was also a very solid poker player. He liked to play 7 card stud out in Las Vegas when he was there. I had the pleasure of playing poker with him on a couple of occasions. He was very cordial and had a very keen wit. I remember one hand I played with him in particular. You know he had one glass eye, that is why it always looked as though he was cock-eyed. Well, in this hand I had a set of kings and he was representing a straight with his bet at the river. I was replaying the way the hand bet out in an attempt to figure out if he was bluffing or not. While I was thinking, I looked up at Falk who was staring straight at me. As I looked at him, he cracked his famous wry smile and says "It's a b*tch to read these eyes!!". Everyone at the table laughed. He was quite a character.

Actually, I had a hunch he might have hit it on the river, so I just called him.
As it turned out, he only had Jacks and eights, so my set was good.

Glad you liked. My favorite celebrity to play with though was far and away Redd Fox. But that is a much longer story for another time. 😉
