A roomate of mine was his Personal Assistant for a time back in L.A. late 80's early 90's. I met him once and he WAS indeed a character.
Condolonces to his Partner, Family and Friends.
Did you ever see Alec Baldwin do his imitation of Charles with Will Farrell as James Lipton on their INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO take off on SNL (Saturday NIte Live)? A real Hoot and Baldwin was Spot On.
Reilly gave us a lot of laughs and I thank him and will miss him for the joy.
Had the good fortune to meet him at a comedy review a few years back. Acerbic fellow. And as a child of the '70s it would have been hard not to catch him on TV.
He appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" more times than anyone. Probably his most memorable skit is the one where he played the snooty airport clerk who gives Johnny a hard time.
