He was an Oscar nominated actor and the star of "Just Shoot Me." But George Segal was most recently seen as the grandfather on ABC's "The Goldbergs." He died at 87 following complications from bypass surgery.
He filmed a few shows for the series that have yet to air and it's expected there will be a tribute to him on the half hour comedy when it airs on Wednesday. Considering he's still involved in a series and has been in countless very well-respected movies over the years, I'm surprised by how little this has been reported in the regular newscasts I've been listening to.

This sux. He couldn't stick around for 13 more years? Nobody's living to see 100 anymore, except maybe Betty White?

And who can forget "Where's Papa?"

Loved him on "The Goldbergs," but when I read the news yesterday I immediately re-watched my favourite George Segal film, Robert Altman's "California Split" co-starring Elliot Gould.
RIP "Pops"
