I remember back in 1988 at the premiere of Midnight Run on the east side NYC of a very small Cineplex Odeon movie theater my best friend Mark and I were the only ushers serving very large and long lines of people wanting to get in. We caught the last show that evening at midnight and I remember laughing so hard at Charles Grodin's character. The main characters of the film reminded me so much of my best friend Mark(may Mark RIP) and I. Since then I have been a Charles Grodin fan ever since. Thank you Mr. Grodin for the many laughs throughout the years. You will be missed. My sincere condolences to the family. Rest in Peace Charles Grodin.

I never cared what the movie was about, what genre, whatever; if Charles Grodin was in it, that was the movie for me. I loved him. He was the embodiment of ascerbic, and he pushed all my buttons. God, please: no more pain for the man, now.

This one hurts.
As a celebrity journalist of over a half-century, I often find truth in the adage that it's best never to meet the famous people we admire lest we be disappointed. And I've met enough famous people, both admirable and otherwise to be jaded, but Chuck Grodin is one personality I truly regret never having had the pleasure of meeting.
There was just something about his unique brand of intelligence and dry wit that got and sustained my attention.
Charles Grodin was underrated in life and that was our collective loss.
Those of us who will miss him know that the most truly bereaved will be his family and friends; those lucky enough to know Charles Grodin personally.
May they find comfort in the legacy for honesty and integrity their loved one leaves and may Charles Grodin's life be for a blessing.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Charles Grodin. My favorite movie starring Mr. Grodin didn't make the list... "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" with Lily Tomlin. Featuring Sidney the fakest gorilla in movie history (obvious man in a gorilla suit). The movie was so corny it was good, and Mr. Grodin's part as the bored husband was great. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.

I first saw Charles Grodin in the movie, "Seems Like Old Time". I just fell in love with him and his persona and his acting. I then went on to his other movies and enjoyed each and every one of them. You made me laugh, Charles Grodin and I will miss you. You have a unique way of acting and I plan to watch your movies all over again in honor of you. May you be at peace.

Charles Grodin was a fine, but I think under-rated comedian. Loved him in Heartbreak Kid. Would have liked to have seen more of him on Broadway. RIP Charles.

You were FABULOUS in "The Heartbreak Kid." Played the part masterfully. I'm sure you were even better off-stage. Never got a chance to meet you but maybe some day I will. RIP. You will be missed.

What can i say? The Heartbreak kid. "They've got pecan pie back there!" Greatest film ever because of Charles Grodin. He will be missed.

Most memorable to me was his line in the movie "Dave": Talking too Kevin Kline (as president) " Who does these books? If I ran my business this way..." :)
