This tragic year drags on. I remember him way back from his wrestling days. He was regarded as a gentle giant.

Winston in Jackie Brown. 62 is way too young.

Deebo in Friday. RIP, Tommy.

The prison boat passenger with a conscience in The Dark Knight too. Shows you what an impact the right actor can have in the smallest amount of screen time. Rest In Peace.

I've always suspected this was the inspiration for Rocky vs Clubber Lang.

Inspired by, maybe.

Rocky III was, what, 1982? No Holds Barred and the subsequent WWF run was 1989.

Lest we forget he played the President in The Fifth Element and starred in the music video for Santeria by Sublime.

Saw this news today -- couldn't believe it. Loved him in just about everything -- and what's weird is I JUST watched the 1988 Renny Harlin horror flick Prison the other night, with him in it...

Remember when he went up against Hulk Hogan as Zeus in No Holds Barred? He also had that brief stint in The Dark Knight as one of the prisoners on the boat...

Tragedy, especially given that this asinine pandemic did him in.

From the aforementioned Prison:

The way he pulls himself away from an important call to tell his boss to have fun catching an afternoon flick at the Del Amo Mall. It's those little touches.

I hope he finds peace as well as he found people who didn't want to be found.

He was one of those actors that was in a lot of movies when you think of it. I remember him best as the President in The Fifth Element. One more loss in a terrible year.

Yeah, I don't mean to sound harsh but 2020 can KISS MY ASS....
