This is making me sad, but he had a helluva great run. May he rest in peace.



edit: not sure if this is the right forum to post this so feel free to help me move it.
And now i need to go back and rewatch The Lion King (original) and Field of Dreams since Ive never seen that one before.

I'm bummed about this. I admit, the last thing I remember him doing was a Verizon commercial or two back in the 2000's. May he rest in peace. He has left us with many great movies and roles to remember him by.

Sad for sure, but the dude lived a long life. I think most of us will hope we'll reach 90 years.

RIP. He's with the creator now.

So far, the dark side seems the way to go for longevity.
