Fucking hell. I watched a bit of this guy on TV absolutely amazing it, and can't believe he's anything but immortal.

Fuck cancer.

I had the pleasure of hearing Dr Tom speak a few years ago, such an inspiration, and to read about his death, wow.

Great theme tune.

She also got them out at a pool party in Magnum Force, Clint’s second Dirty Harry movie.

1. I thought he'd died years ago.
2. I thought he'd be older than 83.
3. RIP

So many recent departures are so much closer to m age than I had thought.

Didn't think they were so young ...

Richard Moll, best known as Bull in Night Court. You forget how old some of these actors now are. He was 80.

Only 54, but he's had his issues hasn't he? Drowned in the jacuzzi sounds substance related, although they say there was no gear there

@canefan they should check the victim, not the jacuzzi.

Must be hard as an actor to have basically peaked between 25 and 35, playing a character you pretty much defined. Typecast himself.

The personality type is addictive by nature: to roles, to awards, to an audience.

If you'd said to me "Hey Nick, you have to work for 10 years and will earn $1M a week by the end of it", I'd be dead keen.
