He also played the title character in the A&E series Nero Wolfe, which I enjoyed a great deal during its short-lived run.

Also he played a tech lab nerd in the 1983 movie WarGames. Plus a semi-regular US Gov't character in the CBC mystery series, Seeing Things.

I remember seeing him walking west on Bloor St. once. He was with a woman (maybe his wife) who walked several paces behind him. And he was talking to her the whole time.

Having seen him in Dancing With Wolves, I wasn't surprised by his eccentric behaviour.

May he roam forever on the plains of the Dakotas...
