He looked like he was on the brink of death for years. He aged really poorly. RIP.

 

[Irish Mike]

Wasn't a huge fan of his comedy but years ago he used to turn up on Stern all the time and he was a really good, funny storyteller.

RIP, Chappy

He was always good. Even in shit like Iron Eagle and Toy Soldiers.

 

[Juggs]

Good actor. Roots is bullshit.

 

[Juggs]

BTW - I tried watching Iron Eagle not long ago. It does not hold up. So many 80s movies really do not age well

Old Vegas still exists downtown. I’ve stayed in a lot of the now demolished casinos, they were quite seedy
