Another one bites the dust. RIP

RIP another artist gone.

 

[Uther]

Damn, knew he was ill but that's a blow. RIP Sam

 

[Conscript]

Oh no!
He's one of those actors who presence has almost felt eternal; probably because Jurassic Park was probably one of the first films I saw in a cinema as a child, so he became someone I always enjoyed seeing on screen. Makes his death one seem particularly poignant.

RIP

RIP, loved his role in Event Horizon

Bah he was a brilliant actor.

Watched JP1 last week, still loved it just as much as when I saw it in the cinema when it was released. Told the missus it’s a shame they never made any follow on movies ….

Reilly Ace of Spies (1983) was superb A+++

A really good actor.

The sad thing is he had cancer but just beat it recently and was in the all clear, only for this sudden and unexpected death

Rip.

Yeah it's getting to the point where famous people who were middle aged when I was young are passing.

A lot are quite young compared the what we hear average life expectancy is.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

No way. RIP.

Watched loads of his films and tv shows.

 

[Showboat]

Saw event horizon at the cinema without knowing much about it.
He was awesome in this, really scary film

 

[p1RATE]

Very sad, I just watched the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople and he was fantastic in it

 

[dave28]

will never forget going to the cinema to watch jurassic park at 11 years old, very sad to read that he died. RIP

 

[Captain]

Very sad news.

The actors and actresses we grew up with from the 80s and 90s will start passing quite quickly soon.

 

[Rilot]

Rubbish! This one hit me right in the feels. Damn.

My favourite roles of his were Borodin in The Hunt For Red October: "I think I may need two wives", and Weir in Event Horizon.
