Columbo was never comfortable if somebody considered him unique or smart.
From Peter Falk
In 1958, I was shooting a movie in Florida, and I decided to go to Havana, Cuba, to see what it was like.
They wouldn't take me in the navy because of my glass eye. So I joined the merchant navy, who allowed monocular crew if you worked in the kitchens. You're not wanted on deck or in the engine room with one eye, but you're good to fire up the ovens and cook hundreds of chops.
It became the joke of the neighbourhood. If the umpire ruled me out on a bad call, I'd take the fake eye out and hand it to him.
The female body is awesome.
Even the first year of 'Columbo,' 'Columbo' was Jesus Christ, No. 1, you know.
I still get fan mail for Columbo.
I watch practically no TV - ah, what the hell do I watch? Oh, I was for a long time addicted to CNN.
When I was a kid growing up, you maybe secretly wanted to be an actor, but you never said.
The whole thing was an actor's dream - getting a character that tickles you so much you can't wait to act as him.
