    I just went back and reviewed the list of all his past work. He has done so much amazing shit. One of those actors that was in everything and elevated all the stuff he was in even if he wasn’t the lead. Tragic loss.

      I said it on another post, but he was one of those actors that when you saw he was in something, you knew at least one thing about it would be good. He was a brilliant actor. And, like you said, his talent and craft would make everyone around him better too.

    Between Lance Reddick, Ray Stevenson, and now Andre Braugher this year has been a rough one for tv actors i rather liked who were on the older end of things but still going before their time

    Oof, does it have to be the top 3 posts on Lemmy/All? The day started off so good with that “What’s good in the world” Reddit thread. I’m going to bed.
