It didn't exclude him playing a different character though. Or Sorkin making one of his inspired decisions and outright ignoring that happening. Which considering how well he holds everything after season 4... Wasn't exactly impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outside of his film's sequel, he hasn't really acted consistently (or at all) since well before the pandemic. Next major form-spotting opportunity seem to be with Jay Leno at a talk in January.

Everything everyone says is to be trusted and face value when it comes to deaths of an extraordinary famous. They are more likely to ramble nonsenses if it gets them fame!

msc 18,436 Posted October 3 8 hours ago, Ulitzer95 said: Yeah, saw this this morning on The Hollywood Reporter. Family rifts are not uncommon, but not informing other members of a passing is really low. I recognise it. My wife and father in law had an uncle they adored and it was mutual. It was also a rare bond in that side of the family where vendettas and grudges prevail. (I should point out that he lived a fair distance away and didn't cope well with modern technology so we usually contacted each other with visits and hadn't visited that summer as he was recovering from chemo and needed the rest.) He was suffering from cancer when he took a sudden illness and died in 2022. His wife was older and quite frail so another aunt told her she would let the rest of the family know. The widow contacted us by letter two months later, to say how sorry she was we'd missed the funeral. I then had to tell my father in law that the father figure in his life (his own dad ran out on the family to shack up with a teenager back in the sixties and refuses to have anything to do with his blood relations) had died. The aforementioned aunt had deliberately blocked us from knowing. And that's how one of the nicest, genuinely class acts I've met had neither of the two people in his family he was closest to at his funeral. Frankly, I will never forgive this. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
