  1. The Hobbit trilogy (2012-2014)

     

    Since we've got a list with actors from the Lord of the Rings trilogy who passed away, below is a similar list for Peter Jackson's the Hobbit trilogy:

     

    image.png.2312ba6c9529b9d219d2b1dcf8c189d8.png

    Sir Christopher Lee CBE CStJ (1922-2015) Saruman the White

    image.png.56fa31119d59c404d19085d6a00f84bf.png

    Barry Humphries AC CBE (1934-2023) The Great Goblin

     

    Compared to the LotR movies which ended eleven years before, there are quite a lot of deaths in the cast of the Hobbit; these were however mostly the older actors. The ten oldest members of cast for the Hobbit trilogy (whose age I could find):

     

    Sir Ian McKellen CH CBE (b. 1939) Gandalf the Grey
    Sir Billy Connolly CBE (b. 1942) Dáin II Ironfoot
    Sylvester McCoy (b. 1943) Radagast the Brown
    Joan Dawe (b. 1944) Hobbit; Laketown Refugee
    Jeffrey Thomas (b. 1945) Thrór
    John Callen (b. 1946) Óin
    Ken Stott (b. 1954) Balin
    Kiran Shah (b. 1956) Goblin Scribe
    Stephen Fry (b. 1957) Master of Lake-town
    Mark Hadlow ONZM (b. 1957) Dori / Bert the Troll

    Here are the living actors who are 70 or older:

    Norman Forsey (b. 1937) Gaffer Gamgee
    David Weatherley (b. 1939) Barliman Butterbur
    Sir Ian McKellen CBE (b. 1939) Gandalf
    John Rhys-Davies (b. 1944) Gimli
    Bruce Spence (b. 1945) Mouth of Sauron
    John Bach (b. 1946) Madril
    John Noble (b. 1948) Denethor, Steward of Gondor
    Brad Dourif (b. 1950) Gríma Wormtongue
    Bruce Phillips (b. 1951) Grimbold
    Paul Norell (b. 1952) King of the Dead
    Nathaniel Lees (b. 1952) Ugluk

    I've found some additional actors who portrayed minor characters in the trilogy:

     

    Michael Elsworth (b. 1932, IMDb) Gondorian Archivist / Cirdan the Shipwright

     

    Peter Corrigan (b. 1950, IMDb) Otho Sackville

     

     

    image.thumb.png.6125edd91e16d27ced96f7a047c5b631.png

    Peter McKenzie (19432023?, IMDb) Elendil

    - He married Deirdre Tarrant CNZM (b. 1946, wiki) in 1971 (McKenzie is named as Peter Leo McKenzie). Their son is Bret McKenzie (b. 1976, wiki), who portrayed an elf in Rivendell / Figwit in the original trilogy.

    - I've found a possible match: an obituary from the New Zealand Herald for Peter Leo McKenzie, who passed away on September 9, 2023 in Melbourne "in his eightieth year". One commenter below references his role as Elendil and states "We enjoyed time together on Lord Of The Rings". 

    Edit: there's a Find A Grave page for him, is birthdate is given as August 10, 1943.

    Bruce Allpress (19302020, IMDb) Aldor; an elderly man from Rohan. He accidentaly fires his bow at the start of the Battle of Helm's Deep before the command is given, resulting in the first fatality of the battle.

    Other than Sir Ian Holm and Sir Christopher Lee I’m guessing nobody else from The Hobbit trilogy is dead?

    Barry Humphries performed motion capture for and voiced the Goblin King in An Unexpected Journey (2012).

  7. I also love his move to Sauber, hopefully they'll be able to challenge the top teams from 2026 on. Hülkenberg getting on the podium after all those years could become a reality!

    - Sainz would be the most likely candidate for the second seat, I'd say both Bottas and Zhou are gone after next year.

     

    Until this news I was sure Bearman would come in at Haas at the cost of Magnussen, after Nico's departure I'd say Kevin is safe for next year. The Schumacher/Mazepin combo has surely shown the team management that they need one experienced driver to develop the car instead of wrecking it every second race.

     

    Re: Newey, I got the feeling he'll be joining Aston Martin; but anything could happen right now.

  8. Dutch former D66-politician Ursie Lambrechts has passed away at 68, she was a member of the House of Representatives between 1994-2006.

     

    Retired academic and politician Bob Goudzwaard (90) has also passed away. He was a member of parliament for the Christian party ARP between 1967-1971 and participated in the writing of the first campaign programmes for the new fusion party CDA.

     

    ---

    Of the three Christian political parties KVP, CHU and ARP that became the CDA between 1977-1980, the numbers are as follows:

     

    - No senators are alive from either of the three parties since 2020;

    - The same goes for members of the European Parliament since 2023;

    - There are nine former members of the House of Representatives alive from these three parties, the majority of which would represent the CDA in parliament before retiring.

    David Pryor, former Governor of Arkansas from 1975 to 1979 and Senator from 1979 to 1997, has died aged 89.

    Fourth former US senator to pass away in 2024, all of which were democrats and/or Joe Lieberman.

     

    (Since Dick Clark (Iowa) passed away in September 2023, Pryor is the seventh democratic senator in a row to pass away).

    Not that it really matters now the game has started and he wasn't picked, but Kaminskas has been dead for over five years (5th November 2018) according to a source on his German wiki page.

    Team in, if its needed. Good luck to all. Hard fought match @ThereWillBeDeaths7 - could still turn decisive in the last hours of the month.

    Same here, I've sent in my team just in case. Well played @msc, I'd say you'll win our match - anything's still possible but congrats in advance!

  13. Recent article about former U.S. senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT):

     

    He's said to be in good health, having recovered from health issues he had in his final years in the senate, like skin cancer and breaking his hip. Leahy uses a cane when on long walks but: still goes on these "long walks" most days.

     

    His wife Marcelle Leahy is also said to be doing alright, having finished chemo for a curable form of leukemia.

  15. With Stafford's death, all Apollo 10 crew members have passed away

    - It's the 3rd Apollo mission to die out, after Apollo 14 and 12 (quite a bad streak for the even numbered missions).

     

    There are only 7 out 24 Apollo astronauts left: Aldrin, Scott, Duke, Schmitt (succesful missions 11, 15, 16, 17); as well as Lovell, Anders and Haise - Apollo 8 and/or 13).

    Of those who have their grandparents alive or dead, do you still have some great-uncle or great-aunt alive as me ?

    All of my greatgrandparents had between seven and eleven children, most of them married. Which resulted in my parents having over sixty aunts and uncles combined.

     

    There are still 15 left on my father's side, aged 79-95. I'm not completely sure but there are about 18 left on my mother's side, aged ~73-90 - and my grandmother who'll hopefully celebrate her 92nd birthday in a few weeks time.

     

    Besides my grandmother, I've not met many of the ones alive outside of funerals but especially the ones on my dad's side seem like a fun lot!

    Good luck, @ThereWillBeDeaths7

     

    I'll be honest, I completely forgot about the Cup until I got a message about it yesterday and went "oh shit". So my team is as last minute useless as possible.

    Thanks @msc and good luck to you as well!

     

    Even your late minute team seems quite dangerous to me. Cowell, Starmer Smith, Manolic are just some of the lingerers that could suddenly pass away. I do think there were more "obvious" candidates for last month than right now. Anyway, hoping I picked the right ailing astronaut for this round.
