This is maybe my most felt celebrity death...it's almost like a childhood friend?
I grew up in the 80's and while his career had already kicked off at that point, I can't think of too many actors that have bought smiles to me throughout my early childhood to my adulthood...his dips into the dramatic side and even sinister roles are also nothing if not memorable.
I remember seeing Hook, and Jumanji at the movies...as well as Good Will Hunting, One Hour Photo and What dreams may come, most of his works I saw at home as a child, but I always looked forward to his work.
I actually just watched one of his latest films but a few weeks ago, angriest man in Brooklyn. Maybe not the stuff that "used to be" but still, the guy is never not entertaining to watch.
He seemed to be forever "on", and sometimes I wondered how this would be for a person, and if it would effect them, or if it was to overcome the effects of something else...I guess I have my answer.
Really unfortunate. So many people of all ages are going to be touched by this...my mother introduced me to his work, and, I hope to introduce my daughter to it too...too bad he's not about any more.
He'll be missed.
