Slipped under the radar yesterday. George Gaynes, famous for his role as Commandant Lassard in the Police Academy films, died at 98. Honestly thought he was dead years ago.

I understand you're struggling to catch up with this newfangled technology thing, but it's sort of like the newspaper, it doesn't physically speak to you.

Remember him mostly from the Naked Gun films. Great variety to his acting style and could jump from comedy to drama with such ease.
