@TomTomTelekom... Falconetti, what a character he was! :o

Badder than J.R. Ewing... Badder than Angela Channing... Badder than Lex Luthor... Badder than Cersei Lannister... Badder than Donald Trump... :rolleyes:

William Smith... Rest in peace... You were the star of my nightmares. :wacko:

Only just seen this. He was a hell of a baddie.

Had an incredible physique and spoke fluent Russian, IIRC.

I thought he'd go on to 100.

Actor Mike Mitchell who is probably best known for starring in the very famous film Gladiator  has died in Turkey aged 65.

 

If by starring you mean not even being mentioned on the cast list, then yes.

Jim Ward (age 62) is a voice actor who starred in countless children's movies and shows but is most famous for his role as Captain Qwark of the game series Ratchet and Clank. He has Alzheimer's disease, COVID-19 complications, requires full time care and lives in a nursing home and due to that is unable to do voice acting anymore. https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2021/05/12/ratchet-clank-jim-ward/

Can't see him lasting beyond 2022. Reminds me a lot of Denise Nickerson (who died in her 60s as well) who like Ward was very healthy but suddenly suffered from a sudden onslaught of health conditions (massive stroke, overdosed on medication, contracted pneumonia while in ICU,  then suffered a massive seizure and finally died).

Character actor Alex Cord dead at 88. Evidently he'll be best remembered for being in 80s action show Airwolf, but for me his most interesting part was as the lead in Synanon (1965), a movie that gave a sympathetic picture of the later-to-be-notorious drug rehab organisation turned cult.

Patricia  Hitchcock reportedly  dead aged 93.

 

 

Although not yet widely reported. 
 


Hollywood Reporter obit and Daily Mail QO.

Hitchcock was the last surviving credited cast member of Strangers on a Train (1951).

Her death also means Vera Miles (wiki, b. 1929) is now the last surviving credited cast member of Psycho (1960).

Thanks I appreciate that and Vera Miles is a favourite of mine especially in terms of deadpooling.
