Joseph Heller still dead, still at 76 (and other celebrity deaths): RIP Hank Aaron - Page 185 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

His Bookman character on Seinfeld is so profoundly funny that I've seen it now at least 10 times and I still laugh out loud. It's close to being the funniest non-Norm MacDonald non-Mitch Hedberg non-Bob Newhart tv thing evaa.

RIP J-LT

My mom commented that the car horn in Il Sorpasso was annoying so I made it the ring tone on her phone for when I was calling. She loved it.

The first thing I thought when I heard this guy died is that our resident Blade-Runner obsessive Dominic will be all over this news, and I was right!

Joe Turkel was a good actor, he always made an impression.

He was amazing in everything, plus, he used to live at the Playboy mansion and claims to have bedded 17 straight Playmates of the Month in a row

Back in the 70s when I heard the story it was 6. Maybe it was while the streak was active.

Larry Storch was great in everything he did, and he was in everything in the 60s. RIP

His brief scene in Columbo was pretty good. It seemed like half the driving testers at the CA DMV back then had this personality and Larry captures it perfectly.

Gregory Itzin, 74

Wonderful, memorable character actor on lots of shows and movies, including various iterations of Star Trek, Firefly, and - most famously - as President Charles Logan on 24.

Actor Lenny Von Dohlen, known for roles in "Twin Peaks" and "Electric Dreams," died Tuesday, his manager confirmed. He was 64.

Damn...always liked him.
