| There are a lot of reasons to like Peter Falk — he’s smart, he’s funny, he’s talented, and he’s refreshingly un-movie star-ish both in looks and in attitude. Turns out he’s a pretty good storyteller, too. If you get a chance, pick up Just One More Thing, his non-autobiography, and see what the world looks like through Falk’s eye. | |  |
He does make reference to one of the
Columbos that Culp appears in, but the anecdote itself isn’t about Bob.
However, you’ll find out:
|  | what famous director bit Falk during the filming of a movie |
| | how he got the green light to direct an episode of Columbo |
| | why he addressed a personal message to the people of Romania |
| | who refers to him (no doubt affectionately) as “the dumbest actor in America” |
Culp would probably not agree with that last opinion; you may recall that in part 1 of his
I Spy commentaries, he describes Falk’s work as “superb.”
