Yeesh. Sad. Poor guy.

I'm trying to picture him in Jumanji and drawing a blank. Can't recall which character he played.

I had to look it up. Google says he played an exterminator. I don't remember an exterminator in the movie.

I remember him in 'The Virdict'. He was Kevin Doneghy, the brother-in-law of the lady who had been made a vegetable by the tired doctor. He lashed out at Paul Newman's Frank Galvin character for not taking the settlement that the Archdiocese of Boston offered.

Kevin Doneghy: You guys... you guys are all the same! The doctors at the hospital, you... it's always what I'm going to do for you. And then you screw up, and it's, "Ah, we did the best that we could, I'm dreadfully sorry." And people like us live with your mistakes the rest of our lives.



I think L.A.'s picture is of him when he was mad at Galvin.I couldn't find that pic except for an encripted version.

A young boy calling a Hollywood actor a "man of sin". I'm thinking the recently deceased molested the kid, but I doubt we'll ever know.

Nah. Look's like the original Fox report was wrong. It was his girlfriends son, not a young grandson. He was 44.

quote:

Wendy told TMZ on Friday Michael was struggling with serious mental health issues and was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but stopped taking his medication.

She claimed her son he became increasingly paranoid and was prescribed medication after his July 2025 schizophrenia diagnosis, but she learned he stopped taking his meds a week before Handy’s murder.


Edit: Initial tweet also didn't include his full quote. "I am the Son of Man, I just killed a man of sin." So the guy thought he was Jesus Christ.

Probably wasn't the second coming, but you never know for sure.
