Damn. All the greats seem to be passing on. I was a serious fan of this guy.

May he rest in peace

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

I loved him in The Wicker Man and Breaker Morant.  His TV stuff though?  Dreadful for the most part.  There were a couple of decent things.  I thought The Equalizer was especially awful.  Bleh.  And these days, from what I read, he was in Eastenders.   ACK!   But I really did love him in The Wicker Man!

I loved the Equalizer when I was a kid, especially the theme song.

Mourning *dward *dward people is sad.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.
