I really liked this guy's performances as the quintessential NYC type mayor in films like The Taking of Pelham 123 and, of course, Batman, where he played Mayor Joe Borg.  As many people have pointed out, it helped that he bore a striking resemblance to real-life long-time mayor of NYC, Ed Koch.

RIP
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

RIP. He lived quite a long time, I always assumed he had already passed away due to his appearance in the film. Happy to hear that he lived for another 30 years.
