arghton 6,782 Posted December 3, 2022 13 minutes ago, When The said: James "Jimmy" Ning, the actor who played Duane Chow in Breaking Bad, dead. I'm surprised nobody is talking about this, considering the popularity of the show. I watched the whole series once, I recall Duane Chow was not in many episodes but to me was one of the more memorable minor characters along with the toilet defibrillator guy and some of the methheads. Around 2:12 onwards: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tracy 2,449 Posted December 3, 2022 Cliff Emmich, the character actor from Payday, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Halloween II and Little House on the Prairie, dead at 85. Notable for his very large frame (he was typecast as The Fat Guy more often than not). Quite an age for him to reach! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbf, that’s not msc’s point… the original poster asked how it was possible it went off radar and he was giving the answer. Plus Doctor Who has a huge cult following hence why every cast member is accounted for. Breaking Bad does not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,491 Posted December 6, 2022 I'm not shocked tbh? Nearly picked her in the punt pool. Always struck me as the type to try and cure cancer with prayers and that bleach water. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,749 Posted December 6, 2022 Huge shock! Totally unexpected. Despite our past time, always impressed by celebrities who manage to keep their battles secret and just slip away without fanfare, even if it makes their deaths more shocking. Alan Rickman, David Bowie and Victoria Wood immediately spring to mind. Too young for Cheers the first time round but seen it since (excellent), my first exposure to her was a starring role in the best Star Trek film, The Wrath of Khan as Spock's protégé, Lt. Saavik. Rest in Peace, Kirstie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
