RIP Sam, a giant of writing, stage and screen

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

Nicol Williamson - Merlin.
Nigel Terry - Arthur.
Nicholas Clay - Launcelot.
Corin Redgrave - Cornwall.

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).

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

Slydice

Awe no


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

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

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

Less Famous????

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!

Agreed and it's really the only thing I've ever liked him in.

I could never get the Martin and Lewis act and his films I wouldn't rate in any shape or form.

There's just a lot of American humour that I find very lacking, I suppose, and Lewis belongs in that bracket.

I don't think anyone suggested otherwise? Or did they make out it was Lamb that said the line in the article posted above?
