Now he’s one amazing actor no matter what the role was he played it perfectly .

[@geffeternal741]

He is the only live version of The Penguin for me. His Twilight Zone episodes are highly memorable. 😢

[@Leslie12.66]

I enjoyed the TZ episode where he lost his glasses after finding the time, solitude and wealth of books to read.

[@geffeternal741]

@@Leslie12.66 IKR! That episode haunts and annoys me still. After he finally got what he wanted, that happened! 😅

[@barbaraarnzen5181]

An excellent actor!! 🎥

[@jerrydevoe372]

He was an under-rated actor, in my opinion.

[@joycampi7233]

Mr. Bemis ❤ I would react just as he did if my glasses broke. I love to read 📚 RIP

[@marlenepearson3936]

He was amazing 😮 Thanks Ed 😊

[@BStinger1969]

One of my assignments in school was to read Of mice and men that's a damn good book to read thanks for having him!!!

[@trawlins396]

It used to be mandatory reading in most high schools in the US. Who knows now? 🤷

RIP 🪦, Penguin 🐧 ™️ and Mickey ™️!

[@melissawright1979]

He was a fantastic actor

[@albertchin1050]

I just came across this clip and remembered his performance as Karen Black's salesman father in "Day Of The Locust " with the great, recently passed Donald Sutherland. The scenes of him going up all those Hollywood hills, with his suitcase full of his wares, only to be met with rejection during the Depression, was truly heartbreaking.

[@trawlins396]

Wow. I has no idea he was from Cleveland. Thats near me! I love his Twilight Zone eps. I didn't realize that was him in Grumpy Old Men. Now im in the mood to watch an old B&W tv show lol This channel is great. Im only 41 but I love Old Hollywood. Everything looked so classy.

[@mercedyzmarieguion292]

Burgess had a beautiful smile and piercing eyes. Good actor.

Speaking of Batman, I’m so excited for Tuesday as I’m ordering something to help watch it. I can’t tell you what it is yet tho. You’ll have to wait.

[@BStinger1969]

He's very unforgettable loved him in Rocky batman and all his other iconic rolls. Very funny in grumpy old men lol

[@KatraPlessure]

loved him as The father in Grumpy old men and as the penguin.

[@TheReasonableSkeptic-ii4te]

Burgess Meredith was cast with John Wayne in Otto Preminger's modern WW II saga In Harm's Way. Wayne was good, but Meredith still stole every scene with him. Superb actor, and funny.

[@M231231]

Geez how could his eyes take it with those glasses. Mine tire just looking at them!
