He was in two of my fav movies from the 1970's - Animal House and The Outlaw Joset Wales
He'll be best remembered I guess as Dean Wormer in Animal House. Some fav lines from that movie re his character:
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life...
Mr. Blutarsky - zero point zero zero
Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little ***** just like you.
Put a sock in it, boy, or else you'll be outta here like ***** through a goose
"Wermer Dead, Marmalard Dead, Niedemeyer Dead"
Carmine, I don't think it's right that you should extort money from the college

Also from The Outlaw Josey Wales:
[Fletcher knows he's talking to Josey Wales]
Fletcher : I think I'll go down to Mexico to try to find him.
Josey Wales: And then?
Fletcher: He's got the first move. I owe him that. I think I'll try to tell him the war is over. What do you say, Mr. Wilson?
Josey Wales: I reckon so. I guess we all died a little in that damn war
There's another saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining
