Celebrity Deaths Thread

[Mr. Rhythmic]

Usually you just go "Well, it's sad, like other deaths tend to be, my condolences," but off the top of my head, there are two deaths that hit me hard: Patrice O'neal and Michael Clarke Duncan.
O'neal is a one-of-a-kind comic, not to mention one of the absolute best radio personalities of all time. He was a raw representation of honesty and integrity, despite his insane vulgarity and love of ripping people apart. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind, and even if he was wrong about something, he could explain step-by-step why he thought the way he did.
Michael Clarke Duncan is one of my all time favorite actors, and I never felt that he truly ever got the credit he deserved. Too many times he was put in lackluster films where he would shine over everyone else, and you never felt like he even phoned in. He always gave his roles his all, and he was a big part of my childhood as a movie fanatic.

Lisa Robin Kelley (Laurie Foreman from That's 70's Show) passed away today at age 43.

and just now, Henry Polic II (The original voice of the Scarecrow from Batman: The Animated Series) passed away at age 68 due to cancer.

They were two of the memorable actors that I know of and they shall be missed.

Lee Thompson (The Famous Jett Jackson, Cyborg from Smallville, and Rizzoli & Isles) has passed away today. Usually celebrity deaths don't hit me as hard but man this one has, I grew up watching Jett Jackson so it's a huge shock to me. Rest in peace man.
