When I was a pre-teen, Roddy McDowall was my absolute hero. It started when I saw Lord Love a Duck, tho I think I was already aware of him from Planet of the Apes. He was the epitome of what 10 year-old me thought cool was.
So this isn't a Classic or Dud, cos Dud is not an option. And I certainly can't be bothered to make a Poll out of his two billion film appearances. This thread is just pure respect.

Kept Rodney Dangerfield out of the Motion Picture Academy on the grounds that he "wasn't an actor" = MegaDUD

from Rodney's AP obit
In 1995, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rejected Dangerfield's application for membership. A letter from Roddy McDowall of the actors branch explained that the comedian had failed to execute ‘enough of the kinds of roles that allow a performer to demonstrate the mastery of his craft.’

jesus how can getting rodney dangerfield kicked out of anywhere ever qualify as a dud? the man is a menace to brain function.

I'm comforted by the fact that Rodney would undoubtedly turn up at his own funeral playing Kenny Loggins loudly on a ghetto-blaster, smoking cigars and making off-colour comments about the deceased, i.e. himself.
RIP Rodney.

I LIKE ALL GUYS CALLED ROD, OKAY?

There was something about Roddy McDowall that I always liked a lot as a kid...couldn't ever put a finger on it but he made some kind of deep impression on me that most actors don't. That said, I couldn't name a single thing he appeared in off the top of my head.
