Veteran US character actor killed in motorbike accident.
www.BBC.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65886521Maybe not a household name but contributed some noteworthy performances in his career. Excellent in Prince of the City and hilarious as the manic ex-con in Things to Do in Denver... Deep Rising was a rare leading role and is a highly entertaining creature feature. |

That is carp news to hear and the circumstances in which he died.☹
He was excellent in PotC and also Echoes in the Darkness mini series and never hit the big time when he should have,apart from PotC in which he was the lead he mostly played supporting roles.
RIP Treat.☹

This happened only a few hours from me. Sad to hear. Sounds like a vehicle made a turn into his lane. Terrible.
He was a mild mannered actor, who still commanded a good screen presence. Veteran of lots of films and TV for decades. RIP

Sad news this was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Prince of the City but I can certainly vouch for Deep Rising and Dead Heat. I didn’t realise he was Critical Bill in TTDIDWYD.  Mind you I haven’t seen that since it came out. I saw a couple of his Substitute films too. RIP TW. |

Worth checking out PotC Arch👍 Deep Rising was a popcorn monster and he was alongside Famke Janssen so was that the reason you seeked it out?😉😁 |

I like monster movies and there were a few around that time like Virus (was it?) with Jamie Lee Curtis, and that one with the weird insect people in the underground and Deep Blue Sea and stuff, and IIRC Deep Rising was the best one. A lot of fun. Silly but good fun. |
