It was a joy and and an incredible honor to work with him.
Thanks, Ned, for bringing Lotso to life — both his good side and his not-so-good side. We’ll miss you. pic.twitter.com/mDP9pP2vg1

RIP Ned Beatty, who made everything better.
The fire and brimstone first half of his NETWORK speech is most often cited, but it's the quiet and chilling comedown that always gets me. Watch his hands. pic.twitter.com/kf2SVOozEQ

Ned Beatty in the 1970s going from DELIVERANCE and WHITE LIGHTNING to NASHVILLE and NETWORK to MIKEY & NICKY and WISE BLOOD is one of the all-time character actor runs. The Philip Seymour Hoffman of his era and an underappreciated legend. Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/yIMJmpsxUw
