He's the guy that played the leader of the Nazis in The Blues Brothers. My favorite movie of all time. Rest in peace.

I was too young to appreciate all of Laugh-In, but I remember some of Henry's sillier bits ("Verrrry interesting. But schtupid.") That, Kentucky Fried Movie and the Blues Brothers movie secure a place for him in my memory. RIP.
