James Caan. I've still never seen the Godfather movies but anybody with Thief and Rollerball on their resume did it right.

Huh.. IMDB says he was in 1941 as "Sailor in Fight (uncredited)"

Must have been hanging out partying, and they found a spot for him

Historians now believe that James Caan was either heating a lung dart or covered in an inferior’s man blood after a physical altercation for 78% of the 70s. The other 22% of the time was both. pic.twitter.com/SJbfLUx4lu

Amazingly--you've got about 10 minutes to tell me I'm wrong--there's not even an ILX thread for him. I'm going to start a click-box poll.

poll is a great idea

Another good character actor down: Lenny Von Dohlen. Electric Dreams and Twin Peaks will dominate the credits but I thought his small but solid supporting role as the one guy from the band who track down Mac Sledge hit the notes of the film just right.

Aww, I'm sure Drew Friedman is bummed about that. Big Storch fan.

― WmC, Friday, 8 July 2022 17:33 (three years ago)

RIP. He’s in the arms of Morbius now.

― Mr. Art-I-Ficial (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 8 July 2022 20:31 (three years ago)

Lol, pretty much every Larry Storch post in the archives is indeed by Morbius, usually to state that he was still alive.

Lenny Van Dohlen, who played Harold Smith on Twin Peaks, dead at 63.

I hate to say this, but I don't remember him from the show.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 8 July 2022 20:39 (three years ago)

. . . to the point where I can't even spell his name. It's VON Dohlen. My apologies.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 8 July 2022 20:40 (three years ago)

As I said a few posts back. :-D

Lenny Von Dohlen

It's probably not a good movie - I found it, ahem, problematic the last time I saw it over a decade ago - but Electric Dreams was a VHS we wore through back when I was a kid. Unfuckwithable soundtrack, too.

Sorry, I missed it!

I watched that clip yesterday and it did not register at all! I watched that show religiously when it aired, but haven't really seen it since. It's largely evaporated from my mind.

RIP, person I thought was already dead but reappeared in the last reel just as Bond was about to bunk down with his latest sweetie who then had to be quickly dispatched before Bond got back to business as the credits rolled while the theme song was reprised.
