    Hopefully he’s reading a nudie mag with a belt of scotch in his office in the afterlife.

  2. Omg, all these years. All the times I’ve seen these movies and I just realized he plays both characters. RIP

    He was in great health, still doing conventions right up to the end. Remember him from Masters of the Universe with Dolph Lungren and Courtney Cox.

    RIP. The man delivered one of the best lines in Simpson/Bruckheimer cinema

    “Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash”

    If you were ever caught slacking off in the 80s, this guy would let you know. RIP.

  6. You might talk about *BACK TO THE FUTURE* and *TOP GUN*

    Where’s the love for his role in *MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE*???

  7. From my vague memories it seemed like he was also playing Strickland in the 80’s Masters of the Universe movie.

  8. He’s in friends of Eddie Coyle for only one scene and I love it. He’s also in Serpico but I think my personal favorite is Masters of the Universe. He blows away a bunch of Skeletor storm troopers with a sawed off.

    Also the original Dave Moss in Glengarry, no? Or one of the first. Perfect casting.
