Yes, loved his work. Kelly's Heroes, M*A*S*H, the video for Kate Bush's 'Cloudbusting', Klute, The Dirty Dozen, Animal House, and of course the original watcher in the film version of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. RIP

I didn't know till today he was Canadian.

Yes, that took me by surprise, too.

RIP Bill Cobbs. One of those background (and often foreground) guys who was literally in everything.

RIP Donald Sutherland

(Ow boy! I'm old enough to remember MASH, the movie.)

I didn't know till today he was Canadian. I thought he was American, I mean fm the USA.

I remember him mostly in "The dirty dozen", I had NO IDEA he was Canadian as well ..

[edit] - no sorry, I confused the movies, I remember better him in "Kelly's Heroes" ..

Alain Delon, the French actor.

I watched so many of his movies.

Been to Greece and enjoined the free grappa in the local tavern a bit too much the worst hangover ever

Alain Delon, the French actor.

I watched so many of his movies.

What a lovely house.
I'm not generally fond of the houses movie people have but Alain Delon's looks quite cute.
All those trees, woods, and the traditional style.
Really nice house.

James Earl Jones

the voice of Darth Vader, and 'This is CNN' probably the most heard and known voice in the world:

David Prowse will probably never get the credit he deserves for providing the physical presence of Vader, but it was Jones who gave us the character of Vader.

David Cassaday, comic book artist; possibly most famous for having his amazing work on "Planetary"; he illustrated one of my all-time favourite stories featuring "Batman" (slightly tainted by having been written by Warren Ellis, one of those hugely talented creators whose every mention must now be followed by a "but..."), "Night on Earth":

Paul Di'Anno

Killers was my first Maiden album, and is still my favourite to this day. A large part of that was thanks to Di'Anno and another band member who is also sadly no longer with us, Clive Burr.

Mark Sibly
Blitz Basic, 3D and Max amongst the other cool languages and tools he produced.
Some cool stuff for the Amiga back in the day too like Gloom and Guardian. Super Skidmarks was a great little racing game as well.

RIP.
