My Take
Joseph Bologna was the rare actor who could also write his own material, and that double skill is what draws me in. A Brooklyn native and Brown University graduate, he brought real intelligence to comedy in films like My Favorite Year and Blame It on Rio. People underrate comic acting, but landing laughs demands the tightest timing and the sharpest craft, and I suspect his writer's brain is exactly what gave him that rhythm. An Emmy winner who passed in 2017 at 82, he left behind work that still warms a room. I have a lasting respect for performers who carry that hidden literary intelligence.
