^Just watched Blade Runner this week for the 40th.

Honestly, I hadn't realized he was still alive before. Another long life with very notable roles.

James Caan, RIP.

An excellent movie he was in and that few people have seen is Alien Nation. Check it out if you get a chance.

^Indeed. Which I had a copy. He was also in Sam Peckinpah's Killer Elite and Michael Mann's feature debut, Thief, both of which I recommend (besides the obvious Godfather).

24 actr Gregory Itzin has died at age 74.

The actor's manager, Lisa Gallant, confirmed the news Friday, adding that Itzin died from complications that arose during an emergency surgery. He previously had a heart attack on stage during a 2015 performance as William Shakespeare's Falstaff.

Emmy-winning 24 producer Jon Cassar remembered Itzin on Twitter, writing about his bond with the performer Friday in a post commemorating the star's life.

"He was one of the most talented actors I had the honor to work with," Cassar tweeted, "but more than that he was an all around great guy. He'll be missed by his 24 family who had nothing but love & respect for him. You made your mark, now Rest In Peace friend."

Tony Sirico, the actor known for playing mobster Peter Paul “Paulie Walnuts” Gualtieri on “The Sopranos,” died Friday, Variety confirmed with his manager. He was 79. Virico’s Paulie Walnuts, a bombastic and ferociously funny foot soldier to James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano with one-liners like no one else, was a “Sopranos” scene-stealer from the start. Sirico balanced Paulie’s menace with his deadpan humor, and his penchant for malapropisms, once calling Sun Tzu “Sun Tuh-Zoo,” later referring to the philosopher as the “Chinese Prince Matchabelli.” Sirico appeared on all six seasons of “The Sopranos,” after he initially auditioned for the role of Uncle Junior. Dominic Chianese ultimately landed that part.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/07/w...imes&smtyp=cur Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of the international smash hit manga and trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh!, was found dead in southern Japan, the country’s Coast Guard said Thursday. He was 60. His body was discovered on Wednesday floating off the coast of Nago in Okinawa Prefecture. Mr. Takahashi was traveling alone in Nago, a popular vacation destination, and had apparently been snorkeling when he died from unknown causes, a Coast Guard spokesman said. Kazuo Takahashi was born on Oct. 4, 1961, and began working as a manga artist in the early 1980s. But it wasn’t until 1996 that he began his rise to international fame with the story of a spiky-haired boy who challenges his enemies to duels involving magical games.
