now, there's a shame. hard to think of any one single role that he was at his best, but, you know what? I thought he was absolutely spellbinding in Romeo & Juliet. he's gonna be missed, that's for sure.
I, too made an audible gasp when I read this. He was a great actor. I saw him on stage at Stratford-upon-Avon in England years ago in a production of Macbeth. He played MacDuff and he was awesome. I've followed his film career since then. He is a great loss to the industry.
Mr. Kobayashi (Usual Suspects) was only ONE of his many memorable characters. Just watched him in 'The Town' and upon first seeing him it reassured me that I was going to enjoy the rest of the movie because his pressence in any film was good enough to be worthy of adding an extra star to the production.
I have a feeling that at Oscar time when they do that ghoulish montage of who has left this mortal coil that, despite being told to hold their applause, he will get his anyways upon the audience seeing his face.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

So sad. I always liked this guy whenever I saw him.
He's been in a ton of movies.
Way, way WAY too young to go.
R.I.P.
