Wasn’t his most memorable acting chops on Mr. Belvedere in the 80’s as the sexually oppressed ornery father? Had limited patience with the British nanny dude due to the nanny having the better fathering skills and then the nanny dude writing about it in his diary. That is memorable tv, that’s MeTV. Lol.

What an artist he was! Mulholland Drive might be the best film made in this century. Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Eraserhead, Inland Empire, Twin Peaks, all classics. And he wasn’t just an arthouse filmmaker, he could do straight stories as well, for example the film The Straight Story. Hell, I even really loved his version of Dune. The only disappointment is that he didn’t make more films, he had a very limited oeuvre, much like Kubrick.

For some insight into his life and work I recommend the documentary:

When he blows his nose it looks like a party favor.

I grew up in southeastern Wisconsin and Ueck was a fixture on the radio for the Brewers. If you did not live in that area, you may not know what an outstanding play by play announcer he was. Few play by play guys had his baseball experience and knack for story telling. He could carry a broadcast all on his own without a color analyst. And he befriended so many people in the sporting and entertainment world he always had great interviews with people that popped into the booth wherever they were playing.

He lived a long and wonderful life, I doubt I’ll see another like him. RIP

Man, he gave us so many good roles. I hope that this was all just some horrible accident, and not foul play.
