Damn, I remember hearing that his health was acting up, but it's still shocking to hear of his passing since he always seemed young (though he was 41).

It may amuse to you know that many people think 41 is young, especially for an age at which to be dead.

The 41 was bad rephrasing from something I had written before reading the obit. I should have kept the mention of untreated diabetes.

A friend just posted this on Facebook. Didn't know much about Patrice other than watching one of his stand-up specials and hearing a recent interview on Jay Mohr's podcast, and this part of his talent certainly surprised me. A sadly appropriate song for today.

Between McKinney and David Hess, we've lost two of the most disturbing villains of 70s American cinema this year.

The poet Christopher Logue, who collaborated with Ken Loach (The End of Arthur's Marriage) and Ken Russell (Savage Messiah) as a screenwriter and memorably played Cardinal Richelieu in the latter's The Devils. Another role includes "Spaghetti-eating fanatic" in Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky.

Only eighty? That's young for such a legend.

Should be some wake, though. When the fish scent fill the air, there'll be snuff juice everywhere.

I'm sorry to say I didn't even know Mr. Morgan was still alive. He was always a familiar face to me growing up, as I remember seeing reruns of "Dragnet" on Nick at Nite, and of course I've caught sight of him in numerous movies. He had a very long and prolific career. Rest in peace.

I had no idea either, but he was as omnipresent an actor in the forties and fifties as you can find-- in everything from noirs to musicals to whatever you define the Teahouse of the August Moon as being and everything in between.

Not to mention his television work starting with Pete Potter on December Bride.
