Undeniable

Legendary character actor,

Idled by fans of the screen,

Faces that're undeniable,

Endearment's one he's sane,



A few good wins at the Oscars,

Napier joked "Get a load of me"

Departed from an asylum,



To take loonies sightseeing,

Ironically catatonic,

Melvin suffered from OCD.

Easy rides with Fonda and Hopper,

Shiningly quipped "Here's Johnny!"



Once flew behind the cameras,

Famed basketball cuckoo scene,



Nathan Jessup of Guantanamo Cuba,

Ignored the truth it seems.

Chased a kid in a blinding snowstorm,

Halted by a deep blizzard freeze,

Ordered code reds after getting warned,

Laughed mad and sinisterly.

Schmidt was warm and fatherly,

Often seen smiling at Laker games,

Notable presence at hollywood flings.
