Jupiter Jazz Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Grim news. Always liked him. Nightcrawler would probably be my favourite film of his and a mention for his performance in the low budget noir One False Move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Gutted by this. Growing up as a kid in the 80's he was in all the films I loved. Only actor to be killed by the Terminator, Alien and Predator. Last thing I saw him in was the Sgt in Edge of Tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 f**k's sake I recommend everybody watch Frailty tonight - directed by and starring the man himself, it's an excellent horror/thriller that engages well to the bitter end, and one of his best performances too. Always an actor whose presence on the cast list would make me sit up and take notice. I was hoping he'd do more directing, but...shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 He was Jeff Tracey in the live action Thunderbirds film, a cinematic trainwreck that has me butthurt 'til this very day. Respect for his talent outside of that one mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Shocked at the sad news of his passing Aliens as Hudson. First role I'd seen him in. Also should be remembered for almost rescuing the dreadful Twister movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 He was superb as Garrett in Agents of Shield as well. Didn't realise he had been married to Kelly Rowan. the lucky b*****d. Although not so lucky now obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Buddy Lance Henriksen joined him on that list back in 2004 i think after AVP. Thinking of it now he was great in Predator 2, his standoff with the Predator in the subway car is an amazing scene.

CityDave Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 A fine tribute from meteorologists in the USA who used their vehicle trackers on the Spotter network to spell out his initials on the map Spotter Network tracks positions of tornado chasers and works with the National Weather Service to update weather forecasts. This is the first time the Storm Chasing community have marked the death of a non chaser in paying tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
