Going to miss Willie Garson. He played two characters I loved. One from White Collar and the other from Sex and the City.

William Lucking (an old Scavenger Hunt pick) who played Piney Winston in Sons of Anarchy, dead aged 80.

 

Eta - He was in SH II as a Kevin Bacon co-star, but not picked this round though qualifying through his Star Trek appearances.

Remember him from MASH, personally.

 

Would have qualified for the Scavvy Hunt, in Deep Space Nine and Enterprise.

I also remember him from M*A*S*H. Which is a show/movie that would have been a good scavenger hunt category once upon a time. Many actors throughout its history. Not many will be left within the next decade though.

[Toast 16,112]

Damn, I did pick him in the Kevin Bacon category that time, and he was a unique.

He was Roky the slightly nutty witness in Jose Chung's From Outer Space, one of the best X-Files episodes.

A nice little story about Maureen VZ.  When Bruce Springsteen's autobiography came out, there was quite a long delay for the audio version.  A couple of fans who have sight problems and can't read text were disappointed, so a group of fans decided to make their own audio version just for those people.  Maureen heard about it and asked if she could read a chapter.

O Yeong-su has become the first Korean to win a Golden Globe. He played an old guy with a brain tumor (Player 001) in Squid Game. He's 77 and now also one of the oldest people to win the award

Character actor Ned Eisenberg dead at 65. Take your pick for which role you think gets him in this thread: a regular in Law and Order, he was one of the detectives in the recent Mare of Easttown and Shy's manager Lou in The Marvellous Ms Maisel, but for me he'll always be Ariel, the Orthodox Jew Paulie and Silvio can't intimidate until Tony comes up with the idea of castration:

Robert Morse who plays Bertram Cooper on Mad Men is 82

Just based on age he might die in the next few years

 

 

Someone I think also is highly possible is Jeffrey Jones who was on the series Deadwood but is mostly famous for playing the principal from Ferris Bueller. The guy's career is non existent now and he has been a registered sex offender since 2003.

Yeah, Robert Morse was definitely someone I was thinking about when starting this thread, his role on the show has basically been reduced to sitting down and having one line an episode this season.

 

Let's not forget the Sopranos actors who are now in prison: Lillio Brancato (Matthew Bevilaqua) is current doing ten years for killing a policeman during a botched robbery; Tony Darrow (Larry Boy Barese) is doing three years after it was revealed he was a member of the Gambino Crime Family and involved in extortion; and Robert Iler (AJ Soprano), who committed armed robbery during the show's run, has done nothing of note since the show ended other than be part of the underground poker club bust that was briefly a showbiz story a few years ago.

Robert Morse reportedly dead aged 90: https://abc7.com/robert-morse-dead-obituary-mad-men/11775650/

 

Might have preferred Broadway thread but this is where he is mentioned. Without looking, he's probably a DDP pick as he has been for years.

HE WAS AN ASTRONAUT.
