I was trying to think of some clever pun on "In a world where...one man dares to..." but nothing comes to mind. It's just sad. He was only 68.
The movie business is going to go into a slump now. -

Yeah, I read that "ongoing illness" thing too. I'm only glad it wasn't complications in the treatment of an illness from which he'd recovered; what a bummer that would have been.Comment

Ian64 is right on, he had a lot of immitators but they all sound a bit phony. He made it sound almost natural.Comment
