John Saxon, the rugged actor who kicked around with Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon and appeared in three Nightmare on Elm Street movies for director Wes Craven, died Saturday. He was 83.

Saxon died of pneumonia in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, his wife, Gloria, told The Hollywood Reporter.

An Italian-American from Brooklyn, Saxon played characters of various ethnicities during his long career.

Shit, I just looked up Saxon a couple of days ago, trying to see what he's been doing recently.

That really hurts to hear. Nightmare on Elm Street and Enter the Dragon may be two of his biggest draws, but Battle Beyond the Stars is pretty good and all the more so because of him playing the villain.

I met him and got his sig on my NoES poster. Very cool dude. Just watched a more obscure movie of his a few weeks ago (Fast Company).

I just got my Criterion Bruce Lee set. Maybe I'll try the new remaster on Enter the Dragon tomorrow.

He wasn't a great actor per-say, but he got the job done. He also started out as a bit of teen idol type even. I'll remember him most for playing Nancy's father in A Nightmare On Elm Street. RIP!!!

Also MITCHELL!!!

Well, he considered himself a character actor (he made that clear in an interview attached to the Cronenberg film I mentioned).

He had extra horror cred for also being in the early Canadian slasher Black Christmas.

Per se, not per-say.

Yeah, but he was a naturally good looking dude, and could have had a typical career, but he mostly stuck to B movies for the majority of his career.

Also I know Agent Purple.

John Saxon was very intelligent. He'd go on game shows and win them.

The American Mathematical Society has announced the passing of Ronald Graham, "one of the principal architects of the rapid development worldwide of discrete mathematics in recent years." He died July 6th at the age of 84. From the report:
Graham published more than 350 papers and books with many collaborators, including more than 90 with his wife, Fan Chung, and more than 30 with Paul Erdos. In addition to writing articles with Paul Erdos, Graham had a room in his house reserved for Erdos's frequent visits, he administered the cash prizes that Erdos created for various problems, and he created the Erdos number, which is the collaboration distance between a mathematician and Erdo's. He also created Graham's number in a 1971 paper on Ramsey theory written with Bruce Rothschild, which was for a time the largest number used in a proof.
