2. Excellent actor
My favorite John Vernon role was as Fletcher in "The Outlaw Josey Wales."

Senator: There's a saying, Fletcher: To the victor belongs the spoils.

Fletcher: There's another saying, Senator - Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

7. from the article
His prolific Hollywood resumé also included Dirty Harry, Alfred Hitchcock's 1969 cold war thriller Topaz and the Clint Eastwood western The Outlaw Josey Wales, as well as comedies like John Landis's Animal House, in which he played Dean Vernon Wormer, and the 1988 blaxploitation spoof I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

11. You know, I believe you're right, come to think of it.
He was always some authority figure or other.
