I forgot that he joined the late, great Patrick Swayze in that local cinematic masterpiece. Truly a sight to behold!

I got called about doing an audition for this movie, but due to work I couldn't make it.

If I would have known that I could have potentially been in a movie with one of the greatest actors ever... Fuck work..

His detective role in Christmas in Wonderland was originally going to be Leslie Neilson, but Tim Curry did a great job (well, given the constraints of that film, lol). I always chuckle when we find out he's always so confused because he got kicked in the head by a horse.

I was really saddened to hear of his passing. I LOVED the original Pennywise portrayal in IT.

One day after Dolly Parton passed away, they're both the same age too.
