Again, sad to lose a person, but just not an entertainer I could watch without producing the squirm factor.
Life is your's to do with as you wish- do not let other's try to control it for you. Count Dusak- 1345.

Yeah, but there are many good actors out there to replace them.
My Favourites at the moment are Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jnr.
I know who I would rather be watching.....
