Peter Falk in Undisputed (2002)

PETER FALK (Emmanuel “Mendy” Ripstein) made his professional debut Off- Broadway in Molière’s “Don Juan” in 1956 and the following season he was in the Circle in the Square’s highly-successful revival of “The Iceman Cometh” with Jason Robards.

Falk left New York and moved to Hollywood where he landed his first movie, “Murder Incorporated,” and was nominated for an Academy Award. He was nominated the same year for an Emmy playing a drug addict in “The Law and Mr. Jones”. Frank Capra’s “A Pocketful of Miracles,” with Bette Davis and Glenn Ford, was Falk’s second feature in 1961 and with it his second Oscar nomination. Also, that same year he got a second Emmy nomination for The Dick Powell Playhouse’s presentation of “The Price of Tomatoes,” and this time took home the prize.

It was as the inimitable character of Lt. Columbo that the actor collected four Emmys for “Columbo.” The successful series started as tele-movies in 1968’s, “Prescription: Murder” and the 1971 “Ransom for a Dead Man.”

Falk returned to Broadway in Neil Simon’s “The Prisoner of Second Avenue,” for which he received a Tony Award. He followed writer Simon to the films “Murder by Death,” “The Sunshine Boys” and “The Cheap Detective.”

Some of Falk’s numerous feature film credits include “A Woman Under the Influence,” “Husbands,” “Mikey and Nicky,” “The In-Laws,” “The Princess Bride,” “Wings of Desire,” and “Cookie.”

Most recently, Falk has appeared on screen in 1999's "A Storm in Summer" and "Lakeboat", as well as 2000's mobster drama, "Made". He has continued his stage career, starring in Arthur Miller's "Mr. Peter's Connections" in 1998 and sharing the stage with Jason Alexander in the Geffen Playhouse's "Defiled" in 2000.
