RIP thread for people involved in film

Terry Jones of Monty Python fame died on Monday this week: in addition to the TV show, he created several memorable characters in Monty Python's films, especially Brian's mother in The Life Of Brian, who was not the Messiah, he was a very naughty boy. Then there was the gargantuan Mr. Creosote in The Meaning Of Life (NSFW). Jones directed both films and several others over the years.

Maybe you could have started a happy 90th birthday Gene appreciation thread which would have been a bit more respectful to those who died instead of posting about a living person in this one.

This is like the time I hired a clown for my sister's funeral. I felt so ripped off - he sucked and no one was laughing.

About one month too late but anyhow an actor I always appreciated watching on screen Jack Kehoe has died at the age of 85 after a stroke. Bit player in some major movies in the 70s and 80s and was also in two of my absolute favorite movies ever Midnight Run and Friends of Eddie Coyle with the great Robert Michum.

Sorry to learn of Conrad's passing, I liked Baa Baa Blacksheep back in the day. He was also in a short-lived series called The Duke, playing an ex-boxer who became a Private Eye. "I'm Dook Ramsey!"

Jack Kehoe also supported as a grifter in The Sting.

Apart from Bar Bar Black Sheep I remember him from Lewis Teagues gangster shoot 'em up The Lady in Red in which in played Dillinger and the 60s western/spy mash up The Wild Wild West

Dyanne Thorne could conduct torture on me anytime!

Orson Bean (1928 - 2020). Continuously working actor where film fans may remember him from "Being John Malkovich" or recently in "The Equalizer 2" but I'm not ashamed to admit that I saw him most weeks in "Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman".

Led a very interesting life. Was on the Hollywood blacklist for a time, appeared on Johnny Carson show over 200 tiems, was a founding member of "sons of the desert", a Laurel and Hardy fan club, and his daughter married Andrew Breitbart, he of the eponymous website.

Conway got his start in acting at 24, appearing in off-Broadway stage hits like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Elephant Man, and when You Comin' Back, Red Ryder? His first major film role cam in Slaughterhouse-Five, a 1972 movie based on a novel of the same name by Kurt Vonnegut.

His other movie roles include Funny Farm, Invincible, Thirteen Days, Gettsyburg, and Gods and Generals. Genre fans might recognize him for his guest role as a clone of Kahless the Unforgettable in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Remember him now. Played a scheming air force general who didn't trust the Kennedys in Thirteen Days (terrific movie). Also, Sean Penn's slobbish father-in-law in Mystic River.

Just read up on his credits. He did the voice over for the revamped "The Outer Limits". He is to blame for many nightmares as a kid.

I remember his voice, deep sonorous, commanding, controlled ... He was King Nestor in Troy and also on TV he was a reliable presence in the likes of Midsomer Murders (twice!) and Jonathan Creek. RIP John.
