Costello as Horatio Prim in "The Time of Their Lives", my favorite A&C film.

It seems like just yesterday that I remember hearing about Lou Costello dying. My friend told me he was running down the street and dropped dead. I went upstairs to my apartment and started to cry (I was 8 years old). I think he, more than any other actor, had a profound effect on me as a kid. I genuinely adored watching his movies.
