  4. NO! This guy was always one of my favorites. I’d like to know what the surgery was, my dad was killed by a bypass surgery (to my knowledge there has never been a placebo based, double blind study that shows bypass surgery statistically increases lifespan). He had a healthy diet, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink and had no symptoms, just a “routine” test by a surgeon looking to make a buck. The same asshole killed my ol man’s best friend the same way a month later.

    Always, always, get at least two, preferably three opinions before going under the knife for anything.

  17. I hated him…. worst actor ever! I never understood how he was in so many great movies…. He must have been suckin off somebody important. All I see when I hear his name is his stupid face and stupid voice saying “Dorothy” like a dip shit, in Twister.

  19. A Simple Plan was filmed around my part of the country, Ashland, WI. Great film.

    Of his most recent roles, he’s the master sergeant in Edge of Tomorrow and awesomely scary in Near Dark.

  26. Hollywood actor’s- I don’t like them while they are alive and I won’t miss them when they are gone- However, I do feel a loss for his family in that they lost a husband and father and not an actor.

  34. i think he had “more fun than a human being should be allowed to have” whilst portraying that stereotypical DI in Edge of Tomorrow….hate to see him pass…..he was always fun to watch, and i will miss him……sigh………….
