    My kids were in a movie with him. He was such a nice guy. They met him at the hotel having no idea he was an actor (when I first saw him, I thought he was either homeless or a grip… until he laughed). When my kids were on set he ate in the cafeteria (a repurposed barn) with them. He even showed up to set on a day he was not scheduled to wish my son a happy birthday.

    Edit: it was suicide, my kids lost their oldest sibling to suicide.

      Man, me neither. I didn’t even know who it was until you said “Revenge of the Nerds” and I thought “THAT guy?!” I didn’t even know his name.

      Absolutely no idea his brother was the Kung Fu guy.

    Man, The Long Riders is one of my favorite movies. 71 is a good run, RIP.
