yeah, wow, ben gazzara. i never thought much of chinese bookie, but he's great in it. the penis scribbling scene is my favorite gag in the big lebowski. i remember him seeming very warm and likable in an avclub interview a couple years back:

also I knew he had done TennWilliams onstage in the '50s, but did not realize he was the first Brick in Cat on Broadway.

One of my favorite actors, sad he died of the kind of pancreatic cancer. Loved both Husbands and Chinese Bookie. Loved him here toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-dClTQ7yPc

r.i.p. original Cosmo Vitelli, you and cassavetes pulled off some magic there. I even got seriously excited and sentimental to see you and Gena hangin out in that Paris omnibus a few years ago. godspeed.

when he and Lee Remick drive off and Jimmy Stewart gives them a look that says "I'll be seeing your ass in court again soon" while also envying the fuck out of them.

i remember him seeming very warm and likable
years and years ago I dated his editor and was lucky enough to have a few dinners with Mr. Gazzara and I can tell you that he was incredibly warm, and generous, and an all-around lovely man. Drank me under the table, unsurprisingly.
