You should think about removing the words "Sad Ending" from your title. I've watched six or more of these and subscribed and although every death is sad, the lives you cover and research so elegantly have all lived their lives to the fullest. A sad ending to me is all of those lost on the Titanic, in the Holocaust, in any war, or because of the Coronavirus. Keep up the great work. You've told me things I never knew about some of my favorite people.
I agree with that I though that looking at the title he was involved in a terrible accident and died horribly, but he still lived a good life by the sounds of it. I looked him up as he appeared in Star Trek Voyager and I was curious about him, very sad to see he had passed away.
Copy that!! What IS with all this "Sad Ending" horse-puckey?? Life is life, & Uncle Martin lived a great one.
Elegant research?! He's reading Wikipedia!
@@jimoncken6936 And doing a poor job at that. He should read "Summer and Smoke" not "Summer" and "Smoke" as if they're two separate titles.
Loved him in fast times at ridhemont high 1982!! Mr hand lol
My favorite Martian
He appeared in “The Sting” in a major supporting role and came to Australia in the 1970s to appear in the “Evil Touch”. A terrific character actor who was very under rated.
RIP Ray. God bless.
There was also his role in the 1999 "My Favorite Martian " movie.
Best remember him in my favorite Martian
So do I although I cant remember how old I was at the time
Everything a sad ending with you, geees
Who doesn't immediately hear those immortal words, Mr Spicoli?
You didn't mention his role in "Paint Your Wagon," both on Broadway and in the movie.
Gone But Never Forgotten. 🌹 🎥 ♥
I'm surprised you didn't mention his last movie appearance in the 2000 movie version of "My favorite Martian" where he actually used his Martian moniker Neinert. At the end of the movie he made a reference to the TV series; "This chewing gum lost its flavor in 1966"(CBS canceled the series in that year).
Ray Walston was a great man, n good actor.....and Lupus is a very debilitating illness, so in a way, it was a tragic ending, but he lived a good life for sure!!
My favorite in my favorite Martian and picket fences, especially the line “GET OUT”
During his stint on "Picket Fences" he was shown at a Halloween party dressed in a martian costume😆😆. He was a tremendous character actor in that show and I'm so glad he won Emmys .
In this series, apparently a sad ending is when you die of old age. We should all get a video of our lives, then. Except mine which would cause others' sad ending- dying of boredom.
I will always remember him as Mr. Hand. "Aloha Mr. Hand!"
Good actor, loved him in Fast times at Ridgemont High
THE STING
I was a security officer assigned to work at a filming location in Salt Lake City in the early eighties. They where filming Fall of house of Usher. Ray's was the Butler in the movie. Between shot calls Ray would ride an old fat tire bicycle around the set for exercise. Apparently he took that bike with him every where.
He was great in Popeye
Such an amazing character actor.
It wasn't quite Of Mice And Men but he was also on Eerie Indiana as Ned in The Loyal Order Of Corn episode in 1992. I'm always impressed when a serious actor takes time for some silly humor.
Lots of room for improvement with this. His role in the sting, cocoon, paint your wagon. His last martian role. Main drag about this video is the dry commentary on a cheap mic. How about interviews or clips of rays extensive works. Or memorable works you enjoyed. You sound like you would remember him from Fast times ridgemont high like all of us, but its briefly touched upon.
He also Played Matt the Hotel Bellhop at the Mountain View inn In the Mouse and the Motorcycle 🐀🏍️, Runaway Ralph and Ralph S Mouse.
I used to watch My Favorite Martian as a kid and I didn't think Walston was really an actor. I kinda thought he was the CEO of Jack in the Box cuz they'd say it was a "Ralston company" or something like that, and I got them mixed up. Dumb kid - ha.
Nothing tragic here! A life well-lived.
He just barely made it to the 21st century. Rest in peace Ray Walston
He died on January 1st, 2001 which is one year and one day into the 21st Century. Are you a dummy and don't know how to count?
I’m not sure if we’re related, but my last name is Also Walston. It’s not a common last name whatsoever, one of the more common sound alikes is Watson or Walton. This is the first time I’ve heard of anyone with an identical last name to mine that wasn’t immediate family.
Is it accurate to label his conclusion as tragic? From my perspective, he enjoyed a prosperous and fruitful career as an actor, living a long and fulfilling life. His story doesn't conclude in destitution or abandonment on the streets, as one might expect with a tragic ending. While you've highlighted intriguing facts, I would suggest contemplating a modification to the titles of your channel videos to better align with the positive aspects of his life and career.
He was great in everything, glad he got out of Laurel; it's not that cool, but he was!
This was the first time I've heard this! Being from Columbus!
Ray Walston starred in the TV show my favorite Martian with future incredible hulk
Star bill Bixby it was canceled after 3 seasons
Loved to dislike him in My Favourite Martian, great acting
Good speaker, but how in Blue Blazes could Walston's role as conman JJ Singleton in The Sting 1 & 2 be left out??
You didn't mention that he also showed up in the new movie My favorite Martian that they did in Disney as the agent
He's got that New Orleans light on him.
Ray Walston starred in the movie the happy hooker goes to Washington
The cast includes Phil foster George Hamilton billy Barty and Ray s daughter
Joey heatherton
He played in cocoon both of them
get rid of the commentator, stop saying sad ending on every celebrity.
To me, he will always be Burton Timmer from the BMX movie *RAD!*
