In loads of films and TV shows, one of those actors who has been in everything and worked with everyone. Wargames is the first performance that springs to mind but he was ace in Boardwalk Empire. Mind you, he was ace in practically everything.

SaitoRyo Posted May 21, 2024 Posted May 21, 2024 Maybe one for On Topic, but I didn't see a relevant thread there. Veteran independent wrestler Bad Bones, most well known for his work in WXW, age 40.

Highly recommend Cloak & Dagger for one of his bigger and best roles, pairs well with the (awesome) WarGames, too.

I always thought he'd end up in WWE at some point, as he had a pretty good look. Edited May 21, 2024 by Carbomb

Daddymagic Posted May 24, 2024 Posted May 24, 2024 (edited) Morgan Spurlock who did Supersize Me & other docs has died of cancer at 53 Was just reading an article on him earlier this week that most of his health problems on the documentary were actually as he was a functioning alcoholic rather than anything to do with eating McDonalds.

Members SuperBacon Posted May 24, 2024 Members Posted May 24, 2024 I absolutely loved that documentary I'll be honest. I think it came at just the right time with Bowling For Columbine, where I started to see docs as part of cinema, rather than just things on TV if that makes sense. His ESPN 30 for 30, The Dotted Line is absolutely superb as well.
Keith Houchen Posted May 24, 2024 Posted May 24, 2024 Whenever I see his name pop up I always remember the much missed @Guy Bifkin after watching his living on minimum wage one who said “When he was mixing up what looked like wallpaper paste for his dinner I though I bet you’d kill for a Big Mac now you fraudulent prick” And of course he was a serial sex pest, but seemed to be one of the few who was actually sorry about it.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 24, 2024 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2024 He did a follow up to Super Size Me where he opened a chicken restaurant or something? I've not had chance to watch, but if it's anywhere near as good as the first one I'm sure it's worth a watch? 53 is no age. Cancer is a horrible thing.
