Holy crap, you can spend a day reviewing his roles:stinkmeaner said:All kidding aside it is sad to see him go but he was 74 years old so I think he lived a full life. On the other hand Gary Colman dies a couple days ago at the age of 42 years young, which is sad becuase of the problems he has had of late.
I am sorry but I don't judge someones right to live based on how many hit movies someone had, I never said I was pleased that Dennis Hopper died, I was in fact stating the obvious that 74 years old is still a long life compared to many, and he probably had a pretty good life at that, you know being a famous actor millionaire.Howie Feltersnatch said:Holy crap, you can spend a day reviewing his roles:stinkmeaner said:All kidding aside it is sad to see him go but he was 74 years old so I think he lived a full life.

TV - from Bonanza and Twilight Zone to Crash and 24
Movies - from Easy Rider, True Grit and Cool Hand Luke to Waterworld, Speed and Hoosiers, oh yeah Rebel without a Cause too. (By the way, you know he also WROTE and DIRECTED Easy Rider?)
He also did voices for quite a few children's videos and Video Games - GTA:Vice City and Deadly Creatures.
He may not have been the lead, but he was in a LOT of shit. Too bad they didn't catch the prostate cancer sooner. My dad (late 70s) has lived another 5 years since his was treated.
Sorry, but Gary Coleman shouldn't even be mentioned on the same page. He was an untalented one-hit wonder who was beset by medical and personal issues almost his entire life. Honestly, until a couple of years ago I thought he had died back in the early 80s.
I am surprised the creator of the show will allow that. I read an interview with him where he is such a stickler for details that he makes the people working on the show research the exact date in history so that the characters can wear the appropriate clothing. he seems like he would be a nightmare to work with because he expects every detail to be exactly right. I would guess he would make them smoke the exact cigarettes appropriate for the time.stinkmeaner said:That is insane, real weed on a movie set, lets see them try that nowadays. Laws have gone so far as to ban smoking cigarettes on a movie scene of it is shot indoors, instead they use herbal cigarettes, I heard this from an interview of a actor from the show Mad Men.
What makes him an icon?the ob said:regarding gary coleman, like him or not, gary coleman was an iconic figure. I am not saying he was an amazing actor, just an icon.
