They always die in threes,

Don Knotts, Darrin McGavin, Now, Dennis Weaver

 

[Maniacal1]

Don Knotts and Dennis Weaver were both 81 and both best known for a role as deputy.

 

[TNGTony]

It was MARSHALL McLoud, not deputy.

Tony

Funny all their names all start with D.

Things like this always happen in 3's. This one is special as is happened in 3D.

 

[charper1]

[dragon002]

RIP Dennis, I'll miss his story's about the actors who starred in western films as he spoke of them before movies on the Starz Encore Westerns channel. He also has told of shinnanigins on the set of Gun Smoke during his tenure. I've learned a lot of information from him about westerns and the actors who portrayed them. He will be missed.

another actor died on Friday so it's 4 that died...That's right, it is a sad day for Sci-Fi fans everywhere. Andreas Katsulas, who was best known for being G'Kar in "Babylon 5", as well as the Romulan Tomalak in "Star Trek: TNG" -- not to mention the one armed man in "The Fugitive" -- has died.

(For you B5 geeks like myself...) I always wanted to know what happened to G'Kar after he left Babylon 5 that led him to end up in that fateful moment in the Centauri Prime throne room 20 years later....guess we'll never really know now. He was always one of my favorite characters in science fiction, his story arc and growth were fantastic. Now he joins Richard Biggs as the second Babylon 5 alumni to have passed away.

It's actually 4 if you count Scott Meecham, longtime character actor who co-starred with Jackie Cooper on the 60's series "COUNTY AGENT". People tend to stop counting when they reach 3 when these things happen.

 

[FreddyvsJasonvsAsh]

that would make 5

Maybe we are on our second set of threes when you consider we are up to 5.
