Butch2000 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 16 hours ago, SaitoRyo said: Burt Young, no doubt best known for playing Paulie in the Rocky franchise, has passed away at 83. Proper recognisable character actor who showed up in all sorts of stuff. I remember him appearing in Chinatown, The Gambler, Convoy and a bunch of other great films in the eighties and nineties. Him passing away has also reminded me of Bright Angel, an excellent, little-seen film where he plays a deranged criminal rather well, which I'd recommend people check out. RIP. I feel like I’ve jinxed him after starting the “they’re still here” thread. infucking love me some Burt Young. Did a great turn in the Rockford files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Dwight Twilley, American musician died yesterday. Maybe known for ‘Why you wanna break my heart’ thanks to Wayne’s World. I only fairly recently discovered his music - but every one of his albums I have listened to so far have been excellent.

I will imagine it will have to be rewritten if they don't decide to scrap it completely which would be a shame I was actually looking forward to that, nice late nineties sketch show throwback. Not many of those you could bring back and do in 2023 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Gwynne was actually the only cast member not doing the stage revival. The advert was on one of my socials the day or so prior coincidentally and she isn't in it. Everyone else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one of the main characters Henry Davenport is dead, so I imagine he’s not doing it. And he was one of the best characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
