For some reason Carroll O'Connor always reminded me physically of my father; I think it was some of the faces he made. My dad had his foibles in the bigotry department (nothing as extreme as Archie but he was a product of his times) but something in the eyes was the same; it really got weird when he played a police chief on the TV version of "In the Heat of the Night," as my dad was the police chief in our city.
