He was brilliant in true blood as lafeyette.
A little bit phoning it in as shinwell.
Good actor and way too early a passing.

I agree he was great in True Blood - RIP

I used to love watching him every week in Space 1999 as Commander John Koenig RIP

I Just watched North by Nortwest last night ,and was thinking how great he played Leonard (one of the evil henchmen). I looked him up, and was so glad that he hadn't passed away. Great in Sleepy Hollow , Space 1999 , By Dawn Early Light, mission Impossible and North by Northwest. RIP

To re-iterate what Samuel L Jackson said when Landau won the Oscar......."Sh1t"

RIP

He was also the villain guest star on Columbo, one of the better episodes. I'm sure it was a repeat when I saw that episode cause I'm not that old : )

One time close friend and bodyguard to Elvis Presley, Red West has died aged 81. His most notable role is probably "Red Webster" in Roadhouse.

He claims to have helped write several of Elvis's songs but his Wikipedia entry looks like he wrote it himself so that won't be much help.

Ah crap.

Just watched CHUD a while ago. The commentary track with all the lads is a riot.

Mr Crispy · 22-07-2017 3:32pm

After Hours is the movie I most associate him with (having never really seen any of the Home Alone movies in full).

22-07-2017 6:00pm

Great actor, prolific. Let himself go badly though the last few years in terms of his weight.

TerrorFirmer · 22-07-2017 6:00pm

Let's not forget his turn in Sharknado, which I am very fond of

Passenger · 22-07-2017 6:57pm

Enjoyed his turn in Season 1 of The Sopranos as dodgy Detective Vin Makazian for which he was also nominated for an Emmy for.

rednik · 22-07-2017 7:20pm

He was superb in Cutter's Way as was Jeff Bridges. RIP.

JP Liz V1 · 22-07-2017 9:11pm

I liked him as Roy in The Client tv series

Skyknight · 22-07-2017 9:48pm

:eek:

....it was awesome to see him as Commander Barry Garner in Battlestar Galactica.

That's what I thought aswell.

Very oddly one of the episodes of the sopranos that he was in popped into my head yesterday for some unknown reason and then later in the day I check wikipedia and see he's died.

Just reading now that Jeanne Moreau has died at 89. She was an icon of French New Wave thanks to Jules et Jim and others:

Moreau had a prolific career and continued acting into her 80s.

Her other films included 1961's La Notte, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni; Luis Bunuel's Diary of a Chambermaid (1964); and Tony Richardson's Mademoiselle (1966).

She famously turned down Mike Nichols' invitation to play Mrs Robinson in The Graduate, and instead reunited with Truffaut for 1968's The Bride Wore Black, an homage to Alfred Hitchcock.

Moreau won one of France's highest acting honours, a Cesar for best actress, for The Old Lady Who Walked in the Sea in 1992.

Again, I'm going to say that there should be a single, simple RIP thread and not this weird arbitrary hierarchy of passing.

Robert Hardy has died aged 91. His best known film role was playing Minister Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter series.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hardy

On TV he was Siegfried Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small, and played Winston Churchill several times, most notably in Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years, for which he won a BAFTA.

Joseph Bologna, an actor, playwright and screenwriter who was so memorable as the egotistical King Kaiser in the 1982 comedy classic My Favorite Year, has died. He was 82. Bologna died Sunday morning at City of Hope hospital in Duarte, Calif. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer three years ago, said his wife of 52 years, actress and screenwriter Renee Taylor. Bologna received an Oscar nomination for adapted screenplay, shared with his wife and David Zelag Goodman, for his work on Lovers and Other Strangers (1970).
http://www.imdb.com/news/ni61403279/

People on these shores may remember My Favorite Year as it starred Peter O'Toole.

William M. "Sonny" Landham

February 11, 1941 - August 17, 2017

He played tracker Billy Sole in the movie Predator. He had the best line for me in that film 'there's something out there, we're all gonna die'.

RIP

Awe no

edit: just read his wiki article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Landham

19-08-2017 7:44am

I think a week of Sonny Landham movies is in order now. Southern Comfort, Predator, 48 Hours, Lock Up, and if it can be found "Billy Lone Bear" who is running from the IRA on an Indian Reservation!

"There's something out there waiting for us...and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die."

That line haunted me as a kid.

RIP Sonny.

This moment in Predator was really badass.

Rest in peace.

Jerry Lewis has died aged 91. RIP.

Harry Palmr · 20-08-2017 8:46pm

His best performances were as the nutty professor and the talkshow host Jerry Langford in the King of Comedy. He should have done more "serious" acting

20-08-2017 9:23pm

Less Famous????

Tony EH · 20-08-2017 9:50pm

Couldn't stand hm myself. Never figured out what anyone saw in his "comedy".

But yeh, less famous....um....

I wasn't really a fan either....until I saw The King Of Comedy.

Turned out playing the "straight man" worked quite well for him.

RIP.

Start a thread for the man then.

As been said many times why does a thread have to be for less famous let it just be for anyone involved in film.

If people then feel the need to start an individual thread let them!
