My favorite moments w/ Archie are with him & Gloria. When they share their daddy/daughter moments. Always chokes me up......

@phillygrl69 You mean the time he told her not to report her rape, and thusly, protect other women?

Carroll O'Connor was the only kind of person who could have pulled off Archie Bunker. This man is intelligent, articulate, charming, and gifted with a wonderful sense of humor. He makes his craftsmanship look so easy--watch at 8:01 how he effortlessly transforms into Archie at full force and then back again. Watching AITF, it's obvious that it took a person of enormous talent and skill to portray that character so well. Easily one of the greatest actors to ever grace American television.

It's always a treat to watch this Great actor speak especially when he talks about His Most famous Character Archie Bunker. Usually when an Actor hits it big with a certain Role they are type cast but This Man is so good that He was able to do another show far from Archie. One of the few who can achieve that. in the entertainment biz. Larry Hagman will always be JR Ewing and Lucy will always be Lucy Ricardo but Carroll Gilespie when he did In the heat of the night and u forget he was archie.
