Peter Falk

Peter Falk (born September 16, 1927) is an American actor.

Best known for his role in the long-running TV series Columbo, in which he played the title role --a shabby, apparently slow-witted police detective. Columbo inevitably solved his cases through close attention to tiny inconsistencies in a suspect's story, hounding them until they confessed. He is also loved for his brilliant and hysterical performance in The In-Laws, in which he played a crazed CIA agent who robbed the U.S. Treasury with the unwitting assistance of his future in-law, a New York City dentist.

Other Film/TV Appearances:

• The In-Laws (1979)
• It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)
• Wings of Desire (1987)
• The Princess Bride (1987)
