Damn he was great... but I thought he died years ago.

He was great in "Used Cars." but...

Used Cars "50 Dollars never killed anyone"

Jack didn't say that in the movie -- it was said by a customer just before Jack (as Luke Fuchs) died of a heart attack.

As Roy L. Fuchs, Jack however DID say, "What are you, a muthafuckin' parrot?"

UC is one of my favorite movies ever. And, on the DVD the commentary track is a real hoot.

I enjoyed him in "While You Were Sleeping" with Sandra Bullock. He'll be missed.

Yeah, he was great as the Fuchs brothers in "used Cars." Mike's right about the commentary track on the DVD. It's a real hoot! They say Warden was uncomfortable swearing so much. He must have been a very good actor, because he swears like a master.

Didn't he play the Walter Matthau role in the tv series "Bad News Bears?"

Yes, he did play that part in the TV show.
