He was a fairly prolific actor, but I'll always think of him as Vic Fontaine, the holographic singer/giver of romantic advice on Star Trek Deep Space 9. RIP, and condolences to his family and friends.

Well, that's those DVDs getting put on later.
The voice of Darth Vader, as I'm sure all of us know, and for me (as a baseball fan) the voice of one of the best monologues about baseball in film history.

I had thought He had already died and that I just hadn't heard so I was not expecting to read it today.
He was obviously great as Vader, but his performance as Thulsa Doom was superior.
I feel like he's the greatest acting loss I've experienced in my life. He was a giant.

While JEJ is the end of an era, going to light a metaphorical candle for David Knowles who dies the same day aged 32 - Daily Telegraph journalist who set up and ran arguably the best and most informative news podcast on the Ukraine war, which I've listened to pretty much every episode of. Just read his obituary and apparently he was a Warhammer player too, so this seems appropriate.
Skinflint Games- war gaming in the age of austerity
John Cassaday, one of my all-time favorite artists and co-creator of one of my all time favorite comics (Planetary), has passed away at a way too young 52:
Damn, that's young. I wonder if it was related to the stress of his job.
Couldn't have helped, they got up close and personal to some godawful scenes. Just read that counter-terror police are now investigating so there may be more to this :-/
EDIT- this is the bit where they talk about him introducing the team to 40k, seemed appropriate in this context ;-)

Dang, I'll always remember her as "Old Wendy" in Hook.
Just a few days a go I was watching a youtube short from some show/movie called "Dinner with the Dames" or some such and it had a scene where Maggie and another older Brit actress were teasing Judi Dench about taking all the "old british lady" roles.

Honestly, if you need a sportsperson explained to you, it doesn't matter.
Pete Rose was notable for being the MLB career hit's leader and being kicked out of the game for gambling. He's also apparently a paedophile and generally abhorrent individual.
I'm far from a big baseball fan, but I'm broadly aware of all major NA leagues and I'd say Rose was probably one of the 10 most significant MLB players.
