Not dead yet (Hopefully), but Julian Sands has been missing since last week, while hiking in the Mt. Baldy area.

I've always loved seeing him in roles, particularly as Vladimir Bierko in 24, Dr. Atherton in Arachnophobia, and Yulish the Priest in Banshee, but he was in hundreds of roles, especially in Sci-Fi, including Smallvillle, Stargate SG-1, and shows such as Law & Order, Castle, and many, many more.

He was in Boxing Helena too. That was such an interesting movie.

That was a great supergroup and was hugely influential. I honestly didn't realize he was still around to be honest. Neil Young and Stephen Stills are still relatively active it seems. Hopefully they stick around, both are great guitarists.

one could argue 2 supergroups, the Byrds I get it don't likely meet the strict definition, but the amount of giant talent that floated in and out of that band is also impressive

We will miss how David never missed a chance to trash the Doors.

Is Julian Sands still available? I'd see if I could pick him up.

OT I know, but Revolver is far and away the greatest Beatles album

Illness?
