A real shame. He seemed like a pretty cool guy. The fact that he was married to the same woman since '75 is pretty impressive for a Hollywood type.
Not the greatest thespian, IMO, but I admire the risks he took as an actor. Who else has has had the balls to play teen rebel, guerilla warrior, street-fighting bouncer, dance instructor, ghost, drag-show queen, AND motivational speeker/pedophile. His SNL Chippendales skit with Chris Farley is a classic.
And NO ONE has mentioned his turn in Uncommon Valor, easily the best, most believable '80s Vietnam revenge/redemption flick.
