       Yeah, I just heard about it on Fox News. Too bad, I liked him in Kung Fu. Never saw Kill Bill. Just something about someone named Bill and the word Kill being used together.  Might have something with My name being "Bill", ya think? ::)

In my never humble opinion, the best movie he made was "Bound for Glory," the Woodie Guthrie story. If you have any interest in Guthrie, you should see it. I think it was the best performance of his life. He had Guthrie down to a T. He was a good target for humor, but he'll be missed.

edit : article i just read is saying that death could be accidental. they didnt use the phrase but it looks like theyre thinking auto erotic asphysixiation. he had ropes tied around his neck and p&*is

That strikes me as most likely. I understand he had more work in the queue. Age 72, good for him...sortof .  :(

Wait. He's in Bangkok and can't hire someone to watch and cut him down if things go awry? That's even less understandable than Michael Hutchence.

Still, go easy Frankenstein and thanks
