That one hits pretty hard for me. His music, including the non-soundtrack albums, always hit my sweet spot and soundtracked a lot of life. A lot of long hours writing in grad school or doing work late into the night with his music in the background. Plus, I always found his music so evocative - always something that could transport me away when I needed it.

Ray Liotta died in his sleep while filming a movie.

67 is just not that old. Every year it seems less old.

Man that does suck. I loved him in Field of Dreams and of course Good Fellas.

I've seen quite of few of Caan's performances, and one of my favorites was "The Gambler". He was nominated for a Golden Globe for that one. It's probably not readily available anymore, but I would recommend it if you ever get a chance to watch it

QuikSand 07-07-2022 02:46 PM

...rather than the Marky Mark remake, natch.

Larry Storch, Comic Actor Best Known for ‘F Troop,’ Dies at 99
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/08/a...orch-dead.html



I loved F Troop as a kid. It had one of those TV themes that people loved to sing along to.

Ksyrup 07-09-2022 02:24 AM

Storch had a memorable comedic turn as a driving instructor in the Columbo episode Negative Reaction with Dick Van Dyke as the bad guy. Columbo offers to give Storch a lift and drives so badly that Storch demands he pull over and walks the rest of the way back to the station.

Damn I would have lost a lot of money if someone had bet me that someone from that show was still alive a couple weeks ago.

That picture instantly took me back to having to turn the UHF knob of the TV to get to the next syndicated show. Man I am old.

Me, too. I loved F-Troop so much as a kid.

CrimsonFox 07-09-2022 12:37 PM

Jamie Farr was a small part as an Indian in that show. The producer cast him as Klinger in MASH because of that role.

CrimsonFox 07-09-2022 12:37 PM

so yeah Jamie Farr still alive too :)

Ivana Trump, ex-wife of former President Trump, dies at age 73

Sadly and predictably, many of the comments focus more on wishing it was Donald. Pretty sad that people can't nut aside hate and show compassion and empathy, regardless of how they feel about her Ex.

And before anyone comments about how lacking in empathy he is, I know, fuck him, but as humans we can make a choice to be better.

I'm certainly not out there talking shit, but I feel pretty confident that anyone who would marry Donald Trump (and produce Donald Jr) is also an asshole

BYU 14 07-14-2022 03:23 PM

LOL, pretty sure that is due more to Dad's influence, than Ivana's vagina.

I guess I just prefer that old adage, if you can't say something nice, then....:shrug:

David Warner Dies: Veteran British Actor And ‘Titanic’ Star Was 80

RIP David Warner.

I always loved his voice work in Baldur's Gate 2 (he was the bad guy).

sterlingice 07-25-2022 10:08 AM

He had such a great cartoon villain voice: Ra's Al Ghul from Batman, the Archmage from Gargoyles, Alpha in MIB, The Lobe in Freakazoid, and a boatload more.

SI

Vegas Vic 07-25-2022 02:38 PM

Paul Sorvino, a fine supporting actor, probably most famous for his roles in "Goodfellas" and "Law and Order" has passed away at the age of 83.

He had excellent range.

My earliest recollection of him was his portrayal of "Jack the Ripper" in the movie "Time After Time" with Malcolm McDowell. I'll never forget one of his lines in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier", as the disheveled Federation ambassador to Nimbus III. "Welcome to Paradise City, my dear. Capital of the so-called Planet of Galactic Peace" Then, he played the role of Klingon Chancellor Gorkin in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country".

So... Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver) was announced as dead on his official FB page but he's still alive.

He has cancer, so apparently this was prepared but accidentally posted.
