Rich, healthy-looking sixty-year-olds die suddenly of undisclosed natural causes all the time, case closed!

He was in incredible shape, I had no idea he was 60.

I would have guessed early 50's at most. I didn't watch the Oscars but I wonder if they just stopped doing the 'in remembrance' section because it would have been an hour long this year.

I mean. Dying at sixty isn't unheard of. It's the fact he was as healthy as he was that throws some doubt on this.

And I think that's part of the problem. We just don't know anymore. Because yeah, it's possible that he died naturally. It is possible. It's also possible that the vax caused it, and that doubt can't be lifted because the powers that be have lost ALL credibility.

And the BBC wants us to believe it was 'natural causes'.

Makes Grug think.

His doctor?

'Natural causes' to me means death from your body simply shutting down due to old age.

At this point, 9 times out of 10 the safe bet is le jab.

He probably died of suddenly. I will concede that he did good work in the roles he played, but his politics were shit. I'm sure you could go back and find tweets where he promoted the COVID cocktail.

The nightly news literally used the word "suddenly".

"The Wire" and "Oz" were so good back in the day, I wouldn't watch either now though.

The original "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is about the only thing I'd sit down and watch these days.

The original "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is about the only thing I'd sit down and watch these days.

My annual re-watch has become a semi-annual event of late. There's such a dearth of genuine creativity in professionally-produced media, and an utter lack of emotionally compelling moments, and that void must be filled somehow.

The Concierge in John Wick

Charon. Which I really only know because of Payday 2.

That said I always pronounced it "Ka-ron", same with Charybdis [Ka-rib-dis], so every time he gets called "Sha-rown" weirds me out.

Meanwhile, it should be a kind of rough "ch" as in "loch".

As far as actors go he’s done a pretty solid catalogue. Frankly his most recent work like the Netflix Resident Evil was the low point of his career, but I thought he was an excellent orator as Zavala and wished he did far more game voiceovers.

Honestly, he could have killed it as Wesker if he had a better script, and would be one of the race swaps I wouldn’t have cared about as much as his capacity to perform the role was far superior to the original character being blonde.

I feel the same way about race swapping as I do about jokes at white people’s expense. It was no big deal a decade ago, but now that I know all of these assholes actually hate whitey and want me gone? These behaviors correctly register as attacks.

He voiced and did the motion capture for the character Sylens in the Horizon series. He was probably the best voice actor in the games.

Wire and Oz were great shows. Don’t think you could show Wire today. He was a good actor

I read he was posting pics with his dog just in the last few days. Healthy and whatnot. So it was a surprise death. A coincidence even.

Fringe was such an awesome show.

I'd just done a second rewatch when I was in the hospital back in 2018, and damned if the head surgeon didn't look just like Walter.
