I’ll always remember him as Dillon in Predator, and as himself in Arrested Development.
Rest in peace, legend.
Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie, Hot Ice with Anne Archer, never once touched my per diem. I'd go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup... baby, I got a stew going.

... I think I'd like my money back.
I'm glad the article mentions his most important role as Chubbs in Happy Gilmore.
What about his stew advice in Arrested Development? Nothing like a great stew....or I assume, I've never had a great one, stews aren't for me but damn if I don't chuckle for that line.
I kind of liked Arrested Development, but I didnt think it was all that great.
But still, every fucking time I get the slow cooker out for something "Baby... I've got a stew going..."
Goddamn it, my sorrow knows no bounds, and I am completely serious about that. That man was a national treasure.
International treasure. RIP
Damn, he's going to be missed. Rest in peace!
Damn. Legend.
This man had such a magnetic screen presence. We got lucky to have him like a Lee Van Cleef of those old "spaghetti westerns", but among Jawas and Tie Fighters, he was damn near perfect in a perfect role.
Damn he’s the same age as my Dad. Born a month apart.
OMG the ads on that site!
Oh no. Sorry. Didn’t see any, I have ad blockers galore.
