I know most people would say “Columbo who’s that” but Peter Falk’s detective style was so awesome on Columbo it was copied over and over.
How he would just about walk away from the crime scene or an interview with a suspect and he would turn and ask “Just one more thing…” I should have used that line at least once when I was a PI, alas I didn’t.
Take for instance the show “Monk” there are some many similarities between the styles of these two main characters which come off as aloof to put people at ease and under it all they are masters of the detail.
Rest in peace Peter.
