Sure I saw him on a chat show, Paul O'Grady I think, not that long ago and he looked very well for his age. RIP Tony

It's sad to hear that he has passed on his film roles were so diverse, from the comedy of films such as "Some Like it Hot" to the darker character he played in "The Boston Strangler." RIP Tony.
