Chuck Mangione.  Only know of him through King of the Hill as the writers or showrunners liked him or something

Professor Tom Lehrer at age 97, the author of so many fine satirical songs. Many youngsters probably don't know him.

Unlucky enough to go to the Moon twice, then never land. At least his role got played by Tom Hanks in the movie... and he lived to the ripe old age of 97.

One of those S. Korean small to larger supporting-actor faces that is familiar to many who watch a lot of S. Korean shows/films. Seemingly another one of those heavy social shaming and career cancellation situations. I'm watching The Winning Try, which he had a part in (apparently much reduced/removed after a DUI) and it's just so sad. Not just him, all the similar cases over the years.

RIP

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

Terence Stamp would have made a better Tolwyn.  The best was David Warner though, just for that voice.

I saw Wing Commander in theaters and I wouldn't have known that Stamp was even in it until it was mentioned here.  I think I memory holed that entire film.

He wasn't in it :p 

Malcolm McDowell was in the games, Warner was in that movie screwed up by Chris Roberts

Man, you guys just made me check if Malcolm McDowell died, but no, Hurlshot can't keep Admiral Tolywn and Chancellor Valorum apart. :p 

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
