[horrie hastings]

What he just released another album...I want to be a rooster fan not....rip Doug

I was just reading earlier tonight on somewhere he was going to perform in the next few weeks, then just saw on the news he passed away. Honestly i had forgotten about Roosterman until you just mentioned it.

Oh wow, a big one today ... Yaphett Kotto.

Alien, Running Man, Live and Let Die, Midnight Run, Freddy’s Dead, Homicide Life on the Streets.

Very distinctive actor. Was in the running for Jean Luc Picard apparently.

RIP

I always think of him as Smokey in the Richard Pryor film Blue Collar.

It was a bit of shock just hearing of his death after i had just read about his upcoming gig. I still remember Doug from the late 60's when i was really young, just seems he had been around for ever.

Big loss to entertainment industry. Ground breaker as an black American actor in the film industry.

Sadly, George Segal has passed away.

For me, George inhabits a period in film, of 70s like Elliott Gould, George Segal, Burt Reynolds and Ryan O'Neal. I think it's because of Fun With Dick and Jane and The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox that my old man had on Betamax.

But it was Segal's roles in Just Shoot Me and The Goldbergs in later life that I remember him most.

Loved him in Just Shoot Me. Last I saw of him was as a neat little cameo as Murray Bernstein in Entourage. There are some great actors from the 70’s and 80’s who are passing away.

Just Shoot Me was a great show. I also liked him in The Naked Truth with Tea Leoni.

I was waiting for a connecting flight in melbourne a few months ago and there was a movie on daytime tv at the gate. Was called Carbon Copy... I recognised a young George Segal instantly, and also another famous actor in what turned out to be his first role.. Denzel Washington.

Carbon Copy. I haven't seen that movie in a very long time. You've inspired me to dig out my old VHS copy that's floating around somewhere.

Haha! Gotta love VHS..

And like many old movies such as this - I love the car. And always wonder where it is today... no doubt this one is rusting away in some paddock or crushed into a cube long long ago..

Yep, as the owner of a classic muscle car I love movies that feature classic US cars

may I ask what you’ve got in your garage?

I’m a classic car nut, all kinds. I’ve got a 1979 BMW e21.

Yeah, I'm always happy to talk about my car. It's a 1969 RS Camaro (with a 350). I got it in LA and had it shipped over here. It's actually the third Camaro I've owned. In the early 90s I had a 1967 (with a 327). Great car but it had been done up by the guy I got it from and I wanted something more original. Then when I lived in LA in the late 90s I had a 1976 (with a 350). Then i got the one I have now which I've had for about 20 years. My desire to own first generation Camaros came after I saw the movie Better Off Dead in the mid 80s. If I didn't own a Camaro my next choice would probably be a Dodge Charger or Challenger.
