And often cited as the best Columbo villain. I saw him in the episode where he was the Great Santini just last week.

Actor Jack Cassidy was #BornOnThisDay,March 5, 1927. Remembered for his film/tv roles, his marriage to actress Shirley Jones & as the father of singer #DavidCassidy. A chronic alcoholic & a smoker he passed in 1976 (age 49) from a fire caused by his cigarette. #RIP #GoneTooSoon

He was the murderer in one of my fave Columbo episodes, "Now You See Him" (the one where he played the magician who used to be a Nazi guard in the war).

1. The role of Ted Baxter was written for him

He turned down the part as he didn’t want to be committed to a series. But later he appeared as Ted’s brother in an episode. Brilliant actor and gone too soon.

2. I'm just finishing binge watching Columbo, he makes me laugh. And the Cassidy villains never

disappoint. Robert Culp is a good one too.
