Ruffalo would be an interesting replacement, but personally I can’t see Columbo without Falk.

I could actually see a reboot working too, Ruffalo taking down the ultrarich with gotcha moments at the end – like him taking down a Musk stand in, or some crypto/A.I. bro

Cruise is one of those actors who is good if the role is within his range. I think it’s fair to say he is an okay actor at best, but AMAZiNG for choosing his roles.

Peter Falk, Edward G. Robinson, or Patrick McGuigan.

I’m not normally drawn to actors, but I could sit and watch these guys read the phone book, if they were alive and there were phone books still.
