One of those underrated " that guy" actors, with a great range from dramatic ti comedic.

In Vancouver the VPL just announced they are dropping the fine system for overdue books. I predict the end of civilization as we know it. Anarchy will prevail......anarchy!!!

Carl Duke of Württemberg is dead. He died on Tuesday morning at the age of 85 in a clinic in Ravensburg.
Born in Friedrichshafen, Carl Herzog von Württemberg came from the Catholic line of one of the oldest ruling aristocratic houses in the German-speaking world. Until the dissolution of the monarchy after the First World War, the noble family ruled over large areas of south-west Germany.
The late Duke was also a Knight of Honor of the Teutonic Order which, oddly enough, still exists.
R.I.P.

French paleontologist & paleoanthropologist, professor Yves Coppens, has died aged 87. Although he has had an illustrious carreer, he is probably best known as the co-director of the team that discovered the fossil of the Australopithecus afarensis named Lucy (after the Beatles song 'Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds' they were listening to at the time) in Ethiopia in 1974.

I would have guessed he already shuffled off. The guy made bank in cartoons after F-Troop.

If you look at his filmography you'll see he did a lot of work in front of the camera as well, and only really started slowing down after the mid-90s. 99-1/2 years to the day; I thought he was surely going to join the "100 club".

Yeah, it was always kinda fun when he would pop up on some 70s or 80s show.
