Something about that guy and the show.

[busterbrown]

It just seems different than most A list celebrity deaths... All tragic of course..There was something likable about his character on the show .. Perhaps crazy tough but very protective of those he trusted and loved. A man’s man stuff? Who knows? Perhaps its the fact that I read over and over that in his real life he was just a great guy who respected everyone who worked on the show equally.. Or perhaps its because I’m from the area...
Who knows? But its different this time...

1. I preferred that girl in that one movie.

I used to love it when she'd do that thing with her elbow. Turned me on like nothing else.

2. It IS different.

We are all part of that family...for good or ill.

And now the head of that family is gone, permanently gone. Never mind that they weren't going to make any more shows...

There was always a chance that they might.

But no more...

RIP, Tony...

You were one of the great ones...

3. This one is tough for me, too...

I'm from a bit north of you, but it's like I knew so many people like them. I grew up with them. He was very close to my age.

This one hurts. I just posted a link to one of his most important works:

I'm pretty freaking sad tonight.
