Please refrain from nominating any of them next year. Shane has been violently abusing his body most his life.He is 60 in December and for chain smoking alcoholic former heroin addicts that is pretty remarkable.The guy has looked like death as long as I can remember.Must be high risk of heart attack stroke cancer cirrhosis and other problems.The guy can`t walk and will I doubt ever quit drinking.

Maybe have them in their one place, instead of in many threads, many many threads. (No offence intended Shaun btw - example of a post rather than poster) I'd say it's just me being a grumpy sod, but then, we all know I'm a grumpy sod.

Geoffrey Palmer's surely due a call up? Now Robert Hardy's dead, who else can look up disdainfully from a newspaper as well? Richard Wilson has had heart troubles and I will say this very quietly Tom Baker and Brian Blessed might be worthy of consideration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted August 22, 2017 Javier Perez de Cuéllar was a dull pick? He's turning out to be one of the most legendary men on the face of the earth as we slowly uncover facts about him. Anyone one who has some sort of relation to Richard Nixon, Iggy Pop, and Jesus Christ has to be a mythic man... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted October 13, 2017 Gonna throw this one out there: John Astin. Does he need a few more years on the clock before he becomes an Al Molinaro-type figure or is 87 old enough? Most recent news I can find is him lending his voice to an anti-fracking radio campaign earlier this year, no contemporary photo though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted October 13, 2017 Surely Deathlisty, agreed. Astin, of course, was in one of the all time great films: the Italian spoof horror Silence of the Hams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dean1991 116 Posted October 14, 2017 I was watching 'The Frighteners' earlier with Astin in it. Certainly a big enough name imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
