    RIP

    Better than Modern Star Wars? Yep.

    Better than the original 3 movies, I would say no. His voice made 'Vigo' the destroyer bloody terrifying in Ghostbusters 2. (He even revived the voice for the Ghostbusters game from years back).

    Yeah, Wilhelm von Homburg played the physiscal part of Vigo, but he had a really thick accent (had very few speaking parts, outside of In the Mouth of Madness. Rest of the time he was 'decoration').

    Von Homburg died in 2004. Read up on the guy, a total rat B*st*rd, by all accounts. Everything from nazi to rapist.

    David Paul, one half of the The Barbarian Brothers, died on March 8th aged 62. Just two or three days short of his birthday.

    Had a few roles, alongside his brother, in shows like Knight Rider, as well as Cannon Films The Barbarians.

    Also had a deleted scene in Natural Bork Killers, alongside his brother.

    I always get a lump in my throat when I see Max Von Sydow's Nazi General stand up to applaud Pele's goal in Escape To Victory.

    A heroic lone gesture of sportmanship.

    If only all the other Nazis had been more like Max's Nazi ...

    Probably not a name familiar to all but David Collings has died at the age of 80. He played Silver in Sapphire & Steel as well as Bob Cratchit in the 1970 tv adaption of Scrooge

    ETA: Just had a closer look at his IMDB page and he was also the voice of Monkey. RIP the voice of Monkey.

    When I saw that he was 92, I was wondering was it the Coronavirus, but his son-in-law said that he "died in his sleep at his home in Neuilly from a heart attack unrelated to the coronavirus".

    I see that he retired at the age of 84!

    Wasn't that one of those 'Dennis Hopper sadly doesn't care anymore' movies?
    (As was The Crow: Wicked Prayer, Unspeakable or....Ticker. A movie so bad, Dennis Hopper's Irish accent has to be heard to be believed).
    I'd say Stephen Dorff fired his agent after that movie.
