David Warner died too.


A ton of roles, but I remember him in Star Trek 5 as the Federation representative to the Planet of Galactic Peace, and then he killed it in Star Trek VI as Chancellor Gorkon, and then killed it again as Gul Madred in the two-part TNG series Chain of Command, as the Cardassian that tortures Picard (There are four lights!)

Warner played some great villains, including Evil in Time Bandits and Jack the Ripper in Time after Time:

Thought to myself "Wait, didn't Vin Scully still call games until recently?" Googled it: retired at the end of the 2016 season.

I wasn't a big baseball fan, and when I did pay more attention to it I was an Expos fan, but I had some admiration for the Dodgers' success and two guys who seemed like they'd be around forever: Vin Scully and Tommy Lasorda. Both gone now.

That's sad. My sister and I watched Grease so many times as kids, we could recite it word for word.
