Very sad news. A tough Texan. I met him way back in 1991. His wife was in a show called "Super Force" that filmed in Orlando at Universal Studios. Many never heard of the show [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsW78sWVb8Y&feature=related]YouTube - Super Force theme[/ame] He came on the set a few times. He then wanted to walk around the theme park . I asked him if he wanted a Security Guard to walk around with him . He said no. He didn't get very far before someone noticed him . He was very nice to everyone. I saw an interview with him not long ago and you could see the fear in his eyes. He also seemed bitter. I can understand why.
Hated to hear it, he had lasted longer than most with that particular type of cancer and I was beginning to hope that maybe he would beat it. Really going to miss his acting, he was really good.
I think one of the most memorable things he did, is when he did that skit on SNL with Chris Farley where they were both trying out to be Chip-N-Dale dancers. Man that was some funny stuff.
