Most famous for his role as the bumbling, but deceptively clever Lieutenant Columbo (whose catch phrase “oh, just one more thing” was a surefire indicator that he’d known more than he let on all along), Falk also acted in dozens of films, including Wings of Desire, The Princess Bride and Murder Inc., for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
