    Loved his laugh and that great big smile (and his 7-Up commercials. "Never had it, never will.")

    It took me a minute to place him from Annie. Probably not what he wants to be remembered for, but man, 11 year old me just LOVED him!

    I fell in love with him the first time I saw him in Live & Let Die. His voice made me shiver in a good way. Heh-heh-heh. The 7Up commercials were like icing on the cake for me. ;-)
