In Memory of Karl Malden 1912–2009 R.I.P.
Th great Oscar-winning actor Karl Malden died yesterday. He is remembered for being a fine character actor. Charles Gibson, the ABC news anchor, quoted Malden as saying he was the only actor in Hollywood whose nose qualified him for handicapped parking.
According the the IMDB, his last role was as a Catholic priest, Fr. Thomas Cavanaugh, former pastor to President Bartlett (Martin Sheen) in "The West Wing" episode #14, "Take this Sabbath Day" in 2000. He was called in by Bartlett for counsel about whether or not to commute the death penalty of a prisoner. It remains one of my favorite episodes of all time, both from the series, and from television. Whenever you doubt that television can be and is, sometimes, art, watch this episode again.
I just spoke with Fr. Willy Raymond at Family Theater and he said that Karl Malden was a Catholic. Fr. Willy also told a wonderful story that he heard when Karl Malden addressed a symposium on the death penalty.

Born to a Czech mother and a Serbian father in Chicago as Mladen Sekulovich, on March 22, 1912, Karl Malden did not speak English until he was in kindergarten. After graduating from high school in the nearby steel town of Gary, Indiana, Malden worked in the industry for three years until 1934, when he was frustrated with the drudgery of manual labor. He left to attend the Arkansas State Teacher's College, then the Goodman Theater Dramatic School and never looked back. Three years later, he went to New York City to find fame.
Malden rapidly became involved with the Group Theater, an organization of actors and directors who were changing the face of theater, where he attracted the attention of director Elia Kazan. With Kazan directing, Karl starred in plays such as "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller and "A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams. While Malden had one screen appearance before his military service in World War II, in They Knew What They Wanted (1940), he did not establish his film career until after the war. Malden won the Oscar for Best S
