The Dead Thread

[Tipp blue]

Can't believe Rip Torn, his "Artie" alongside Jeffrey Tambor's "Hey now, Hank Kingsley" was the stuff of genius ..

And now Father Fintan Stack of 'Father Ted' fame has passed. Truly all classics of the 90's



Rip Brendan Grace

Poor old Brendan.. I went to see him a few times.. one of the few comedians that got a laugh without resorting to swearing or rudeness, the wife got me tickets for my birthday about 10 years ago and she somehow got a message to him to wish me a happy Birthday, mortified I was he got me to stand up and the whole audience singing happy Birthday to me.

One day on and I'm still upset about Artie. Not such a short attention span after all.

 

[Daytripper]

Brendan Grace was a really good guy. Very down to earth and genuinely funny.

RIP

Sad news, brilliant Captain of a great Lancashire side that were the one day kings of English cricket and brought us some great moments in the early/mid seventies.

...sad news indeed, thanks for posting the clip which brings back such memories, especially that majestic run-out from Clive Lloyd.

Rip Torn, cult actor and Artie in the Larry Sanders Show dies aged 88

Star of a string of 60s classics fell foul of Hollywood because of his temper but found a fresh lease of life in comedy, from TV’s Larry Sanders Show to the Men in Black films

Named after a particularly difficult birth.

Sweet pea pernell whitaker hit by a car and killed at 55, very sad. If I was asked by a novice which fighter to style themselves on he would right near the top of the list

 

[summerisle]

So it's his fault.
