We were so excited to meet Jeff Da iels after a performance of God of Carnage in Los Angeles. I was surprised how rude and condescending he seemed. Not your typical Michigander. 😑

I never understand the need to remake things that are perfect. What PF did with this character cannot be replicated yet alone surpassed. Just take the way he transformed that character from the initial movie to the second ( not the serial version that was once per month).Please read about actors who were going to originally play Lt. Columbo then realize how different the acting would have been. Finally know this - the raincoat was Mr Falk’s idea.

@@fmrhkyfan there is no doubt that Peter Falk’s timeless portrayal of Columbo was simply fantastic, supported by great scripts and storylines. However there are many characters from the movies and TV that have been reimagined and successfully played by other actors, James Bond (Daniel Craig came in completely with a different approach in Casino Royale) Hercules Poirot brilliantly played in recent years by John Malkovich and Kenneth Branagh. The Joker- masterful performances from Joaquin Phoenix and Heath Ledger Sherlock Holmes, diverse performances from a host of top actors. The current series of Ripley on Netflix ( a refresh of The Talented Mr Ripley) is a reminder how a new version can sometimes surpass the original films. Imo a new series of Columbo would be fantastic and probably reignite interest in the original Columbo. Other great actors like Mark Ruffalo, Billy Bob Thornton and Paul Giamatti would do great portrayals with their own interpretations. In fact a series with each of them playing 2 episodes each!

you mean Keegan? (Michael Key)

Fantastic
