R.I.P. TONY ROBERTS

Many associate you with your Woody Allen movies: Play It Again, Sam; Annie Hall; Stardust Memories; Hannah and Her Sisters; Stardust Memories; and A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy.

However, there's your stint as Dr. Lee Pollock on Edge of Night and varied guest spots on Law and Order, as well as the audio books you enacted; with additional contributions to Trials of O'Brien; The Million Dollar Duck; Le Sauvage; A Guide to a Married Man; Just Tell Me What You Want; The Girls in the Office; Star Spangled Girl; Seize the Day; Our SonsThe Longest Week; Dirty Dancing 2017; Key Exchange; Switch 1991; Fist Fighter; 12 and Holding; Serpico; the original The Taking of Pelham One Two Three; and the whimsical, George Burns effort, 18 Again! 

And speaking of the whimsical, or more so, the weird and/or the supernatural, you pleased fans per Popcorn, Amityville 3D and gave a tender appearance on Rod Serling's Night Gallery in the author's acclaimed "The Messiah on Mott Street."

Thanks for entertaining us over the years, Mr. Roberts, of filling in the gaps with a forefront style that made you a leading man, even on those occasions when you were only left to bolster those oh-so-monumental margins.
