More sad news to pass along from Old Hollywood: veteran character actor G.D. Spradlin died in his San Luis Obispo cattle ranch on Sunday from natural causes. He was 90. Spradlin — who was such a successful independent oil producer in Oklahoma during the 1950s that he retired in 1960 — began acting in the late ’60s with roles on television series like Gomer Pyle , I Spy and Dragnet , and broke out following his appearance as slimy senator Pat Geary in The Godfather Part II . Ahead, remember Spradlin by watching his best Godfather moment.
