But ill say Ledger simply because i often think about the stuff we missed out on


Good point about Heath Ledger. He was a great actor.

Another is PSH. We missed out with him passing on early.

John Candy
Phil Hartman
Chris Farley

I was angriest at the loss of Hartman because he was taken from us by a crazy wife. Goddam!

I was saddened by John Candy’s death because he just seemed like one of the most likable people on the planet. He never failed to make me feel good with every character he played.

Same with Chris Farley, but he was more tragic in how tortured he seemed by his own self-image and his self-destruction.

Robin Williams was also shocking and upsetting and is right behind those others I mentioned. I think I saw that one coming for years. He had a good long run, but his mental illness finally got the better of him. I miss him in this world.

Paul Walker, cause any new movie he was in I was sure to get laid as my SO was/is madly in love with him. Now she won't watch any of his movies. Need to find a new on screen dude for her. DAMMIT

He was our generation's Jim Morrison.

The one that hit me like a sucker punch was Chris Cornell. There were others that I hated to see go, like Shannon Hoon or Scott Weiland. But Cornell hanging himself came completely from left field. He had just did a great interview with Howard Stern and seemed like he was on top of the world looking back at a great career.

The ones where it was clear they suffered horribly and didn't deserve to go like that (Patrick Swayze, Pat Summitt).

Robin Williams
Harold Ramis

I’m definitely bracing for Mel Brooks. He’s 95
