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

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 20, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 20, 2023 She always looked like she was having so much fun hamming it up as Camilla in The Windsors.
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted October 20, 2023 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.

Very sad me and my fiance weirdly know and are friends with the brother of Stephen Tompkinson (he's the lollipop man for the other nearby school and we see him daily) he has been telling us they were doing rehearsals for the live drop the dead donkey show and tour that was set to happen next year so this is a huge shame to hear

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
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted October 21, 2023 Awards Moderator Posted October 21, 2023 Wasn't Donkey's whole gimmick that it was written that week so it could be current?
Chili Posted October 21, 2023 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.

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.
