he did plenty of work long before "The streets of San Fransisco"

For me, best remembered, IMO in "On the waterfront" and "A streetcar named Desire".

I liked him too, in the made for tv miniseries ; "Fatal Vision" (I think that was the title).. based on a true story, a woman was murdered along with her children in their home, and her husband, a doctor and a former green beret or similar survived the attack but in reality was the killer.

Karl Malden was the bereaved father and grandfather - at first a supporter of his surviving son in law, but eventually suspected him and worked for years to bring him to trial.

A great character actor.
