		Charles Durning has played Santa Claus in (to date) five unrelated Christmas-themed projects, two of which are TV movies that have aired within the past three weeks.
		Whatever damage Durning's extra poundage may be doing to his organs, however, it's great for his career as every movie's default big fat southerner (that is, when he's not playing the default fat Italian or Irish cop, as in, respectively, Dog Day Afternoon and Dick Tracy).
		Durning was born to play characters with names like Otis P. Hazelrigg and Louis Thibodo and Wylie Hunnicutt.

		Durning is Weller Martin, an irascible Type A personality nursing his bad heart in a place for which he has complete contempt.
		And before a distraught Fonsia flutters on in her autumnal wrapper, the actor is given his head to demonstrate the character's comical yet touching frailty at length, before anything is heard but an off-stage TV and a burst of traffic noise.
		Moreover, Harris and Durning are engaged in a pas de deux worthy of ballet.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews: Los Angeles - "Harvey" - 7/25/03
		Charles Durning plays Elwood P. Dowd, the sweet, friendly man who spends his days at neighborhood bars with his rabbit buddy, Harvey.
		Durning's Dowd moves slowly through the play; he frequently mumbles, and even in long speeches he only gets out a few words at a time.
		At times, Dowd's absentmindedness might be Durning's; Durning never actually drops a line, but his pauses come in awkward places, suggesting Durning might not be on top of the script.

		Her father Henry (Charles Durning) and her mother Adele (Anne Bancroft) are seemingly oblivious to all of the turmoil they have created and that now resides within their children.
		Charles Durning and Anne Bancroft are brilliant as clueless parents who are stuck in the roles they took upon themselves many years ago; both are unknowingly hilarious just like most parents who prefer to keep their eyes closed.
		Her parents are a compulsively edged-out Anne Bancroft and a terminally mellow Charles Durning - a former airline worker who watches old movies in the basement and keeps a sweet song handy in his head for when scenes get too involved.
