His portrayal of Jim Jones of Jonestown drink the Kool Aid fame was classic.
Really good actor. Need to watch Tombstone again soon, that movie is one of the greatest acted westerns ever. Great flick.
Political activist actors should all go to Hell. Good Riddance, dark Prince.
RIP. Gone to that used car dealership in the sky…
And i just want to add, if i may, that the "Two Thumbs Up" billboard that his daughter had installed all over town just moments after her father's last breath was in poor taste. Inheritance be damned…that's waaaaay too soon to do something like that IMHO. smh

RIP.....great character actor. If you've never seen Southern Comfort, I highly recommend it.
All of you jackals are forgetting his best role in what is quite possibly the best movie of all time. Yes, I'm talking about (the original) Red Dawn...the cinematic gem that was wrongfully shunned by the academy and which emerged as the genesis of the epic Swayze Trilogy…
Wolverines!!!

Is To Wong Foo part of that trilogy?
I'm 57. You can look in the obits every day and there are guys my age and younger in there. In addition, there have been 6 guys I used to work with who have died in the last 2 years, and all were in there 60's. That was one of the biggest reasons my wife and I looked at retiring early. There are no guarantees for tomorrow, and we were financially able to do it, so we did.
Unless that person is into their nineties, the Natural Causescod is ********. All your organs shutting down cause your body is too damn old to support them. THATS "natural causes" --the mother fu--ers.
Wife and I retired at 62. Doing that gave us about eight good years of being retired. You can still do many of the things you want to do while in your 60s. But when you hit 70, protest it you must, the body and mind begin deteriorating rapidly. Doesn't necessarily mean you become senile or an invalid then of course. But you are not going to be going places and doing things you did just a few short years ago - and you probably won't even want to.
Some people need to be employed to give their lives meaning - even when they don't need the money. That was never me.
I think the ideal is to work toward being financially able to retire at about 55 if that is the way one still feels at that time.

To Wong Foo is too great to lump in with other films.
What about Next of Kin? Gives a shout out to Kentucky and us hillbillies. Also had another great actor in it in Bill Paxton. Liam Neeson better watch out since death has already Taken his two other Next of Kin brothers.
He played Philip Marlowe on an HBO show. I absolutely loved that show. He was great.
