Damn. His speech in Twin Peaks (anyone who knows it will know which one I mean) is one of the all-time great telly moments. Quite a lot of the other great telly moments are in TP too of course.

RIP dude.


Definitely a good speech and one a lot of people could learn from.

Edit: And I've just updated my signature to include it. Dakka allows signatures long enough to have both quotes, normally I have to stick with the "Fire, walk with me" poem on most forums.

"Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see.
One chants out between two worlds: Fire, walk with me."
- Twin Peaks
"You listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

Sigh. Miguel Ferrer added so much to a movie or TV show just by being there. He was a character actor par excellence, and the entertainment world is emptier for his passing.

RIP John Hurt

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Which was quite funny because he also played Winston in 1984.


But yeah, this is a sad day. The chestburster scene is one of the most famous deaths in movie history.
