He had been pretty sick for awhile though right?  Still sad to lose such a wonderful actor.

Probably my favorite heavy of all time.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

RIP.  Among his other successful roles, he was a convincing Kruschev in Enemy at the Gates.

Yeah he had a disease that had been killing him for awhile.  Parkinson's or something.  I remember sometime ago he retired from acting for that reason.

How long did you look, 20 seconds?  It's like my teenage daughters, 'OMG I CAN'T FIND MY iPHONE!!!!.'

'It's 2 feet in front of you and you just sent a Snapchat 4 seconds ago!'
