Actors that you miss

[Mister Sin]

I am currently in the middle of "Red Dragon" and Phillip Seymore Hoffman plays a scummy reporter. But damn...he was such a good actor. It has me thinking about different roles that he could have been in. Then I started thinking of other actors that have passed.

Chris Farley....man, the amount of comedy we've missed out on due to his death.

 

[Mister Sin]

Accidentally put this in the wrong section. Can one of the mods move it for me? My bad!

 

[FaulkSF]

Bruce Lee - how many more great movies did he have in him before his mysterious death?

John Candy - Taken from us way too early.

PSH was great in Hunger Games.

 

[den-the-coach]

Chris Farley living in a Van down by the river

 

[InnovatedMind]

Robin Williams.

 

[OldSchool]

Robin Williams.

This and I’d add in Bernie Mac and Carrie Fisher.

 

[dieterbrock]

I'll beat @Mojo Ram to it, but the world of comedy took a huge hit with the death of John Belushi

 

[nighttrain]

Gene Wilder , lots of really good memories
train

 

[Dodgersrf]

Definitely John Candy and Farley.

I still get a bit bummed out, when I see them on screen.
Two loveable men, that brought tears of laughter and happiness to so many people. I do nt know anyone that doesn't love these guys.

I'm kinda meh on Chris Farley. Not a big SNL alum fan. The originals were great, but quality started dropping off quickly thereafter.

 

[Angry Ram]

I already miss Chadwick Boseman.

 

[Mister Sin]

I feel like Heath Ledger belongs in some conversation. He was just getting into the top tier.

 

[dieterbrock]

Not sure who watched Spartacus on Starz, this guy was fantastic.

Fuck....this one tears me up. The show just wasn't the same after he passed.

[SteezyEndo]

Bruce Lee. He taught me the art of fighting without fighting. Have all of his movies. There will be no other.

 

[Loyal]

Robin Williams.

This one screws me up. The way he died, hanging himself in a closet (that's my memory) and the picture of his face in death with that smile he always had, horrifies me. I never actually saw him in death so it must have been a nightmare that I remember. Now, everytime I see him smile in a movie, I see sadness and a death mask in that smile. He was so funny and so brilliant and I can't enjoy any of it now.

dammit.

So many of the greats go way too young. And many have been named already

I miss Farley, Candy, Belushi, Robin, Carlin, Hartman, Bernie Mack, Heath Ledger, Richard Pryor, Red Foxx - too many good ones to name them all

 

[Neil039]

They are not dead. Just miss them since they both retired

 

[Deac]

Robert Shaw, iconic in Jaws, great character actor.
