The R.I.P. thread

High jumper Dick Fosbury has died. There are very few individuals who have fundamentally changed their sports but high jumping really can be defined as pre and post Flop.

A criminally underused actor (and a real beefcake in his prime)

He was excellent in Bosch.

Rest in peace.

I’ve been playing the online game Destiny for nearly a decade, and Lance did the VA for a very prominent character, which guarantees his lines would be heard almost every time one would play. He’s not one of the most famous actors lost, yet I’ve heard his voice more regularly than any other over recent years. I am quite hit by his loss

He brought excellent gravitas to Fringe also. RIP Lance.

He was great as Zavala. He was also a huge fan of the game too playing through almost all of the content.

RIP Kathy Bishop (Johns mum).

And also of Eddie Bishop who used to play for Tranmere. I never realised that they were related until John mentioned it in an interview.

Very sad about this one. I always loved his Lily Savage act and he came across as a lovely bloke.

My nan is going to be absolutely distraught. Any time he was on the TV she’d be straight on the phone to my mum demanding she tuned in. RIP.

I personally never found him that funny, but watching him interview people in his chat show and presenter roles he always came across as someone that was very caring and compassionate which is something I think everyone should try to be.

RIP Paul O’Grady, one Britain’s well loved personalities. He was very witty and yes, I also found him very likeable and kind as presenter on talk showsaway from his alter ego of Lily Savage.

RIP Paul.
