Elisha Cook Jr. - Rotten Tomatoes

I have seen many of his movies and enjoyed them, too!

117 years old!!!!! Boy, howdy, that's some longevity. Playing skeevy, sneaky little weasels was a steady source of roles for him for decades. From betraying his fellow robbers in The Killing to renting that special apartment to Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby, you always knew to keep your eye on him and be careful turning your back. 117!!! RIP

He died in 1995 at aged 91.

From great film noir to Magnum pi (( as Icepick )great actor

It sounds like he spent his time off of movie making in a isolated cabin in the Sierra Nevada.

I remember him the most for his part in Shane. Great character actor.

Did his character not face off with the hired gun?

Yup, Jack Palance (another great character actor) shot him.

I remember him from HOUSE ON THE HAUNTED HILL with Vincent Price and many other movies.

house/haunted hill is 1 of my fave all-time horror classics. :coolsmiley:

He died in 1995 at age 91.

I loved him as the “cheap gunsel” in “The Maltese Falcon.” I liked the respect Sam Spade gave him for his willingness to die to protect Agnes, his erstwhile girlfriend.

He also played a lawyer in Star Trek.

known to his friends as "Cookie"

If you want to see him in his best part as many critics agree the movie Born to Kill not only is he sympathetic but also a homicidal maniac in a movie that he’s not even the worst person !! One of the best noirs ever
