He was great as the old coach in Saving Silverman too, cult classic.

Rip R Lee
Him answering the phone in the movie Seven
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7tAtB430oY

Improvised when the phone started ringing in the middle of a take. An untrained actor with Pitt and Freeman pulling that off.

Wow, I always liked him. Hadn't seen him in years, though. If he was 65 when he died, then he was only 25 when Night Court began in 1984?? That's so young!

1984 he woulda been 31 according to arithmetic. I always liked his magic too.

I remember him first in Cheers, always running a scam on Sam, but then having a team up with the bar later in the series.

So Barbara Bush died. RIP.

Whenever I heard her name, I always thought of a line from The Golden Girls

Blanche: Rose, whatever it is you're thinking - it isn't true.
Rose: Good - then George Bush isn't married to his mother?

Yeh very sad. He was known to have mental health issues, as well as pretty serious health issues due to his excessive drinking.

Not a big fan of his music, but definitely a talent gone too soon. Rip.

I guess Verne's movie career proved to be short-lived.

Michael Anderson, 98

Director of Logan's Run and Around the World In 80 Days

Died while mountain climbing in the Alps. A jealous husband caught him with his wife and undid his line.
