[Pevenseagull]

Magnificent screen actor.

Perhaps my favourite


Certainly one of the very best.

 

[Flounce]

Sad but sounding like suicide? Wife and dog also found dead along with Hackman

RIP

Great actor

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Apparently no foul play is suspected, according to the police. Very sad.

Sad news.

 

[nevergoagain]

Very sad news. Popeye Doyle was one of my favourite screen characters. Lex Luther, not so much.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Mississippi Burning in my all time top 5 films...RIP

 

[The Clamp]

One of the best. Excelled during the ‘70’s era of hard bitten, character driven action films.

They didn’t come any better. 🫡

Great actor…. RIP

Do you think the dog did it and then killed itself. That’ll stump em.

 

[Motogull]

A worthy RIP thread.

Brilliant actor who starred in many of my favourite films.

Thank you Gene.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Sounds like the name of a person who discovered DNA.

Him, Wife and dog.
Very very sad.
