A long time ago, I was auditioning for the movie “The Doors” It was kind of a cattle call. They paired together potential Jims with potential Pamela‘s. And they were running behind so we were spilling out of the casting office, sitting on the porch, the lawn, and the driveway.
All of a sudden, a sixties convertible came screeching up, blaring Doors Music at top volume. And a guy jumped out and strode inside: He had wild hair and he was barefoot, shirtless, and wearing nothing but a pair of tight leather pants.
We all looked at each other like… Who is this guy? We were more than a little shook by the sheer audacity of his entrance. Well of course it was Val Kilmer and from that minute on, nobody else stood a chance.

It was an honor and an education working with Gene Hackman. Mike Nichols said of his genius character acting: “He always brought just enough of a different part of the real gene to each role he played.” Sending all my love to his family & friends.
Goodnight to the incomparable Gene Hackman, a singular force of nature on-screen whose dynamic presence gave life to some of the greatest films of all time. He will be dearly missed. ❤️
Gene Hackman, a two-time Oscar-winning actor whose compelling gravitas and simple humanity made him an onscreen fixture for 40 years, has died at 95.

Diving into delirious realms of imagination, this second film of the Godzilla franchise’s 1980s resurgence showcased the towering beast for a new generation of fans.
Hi guys, if you’ve never seen “This Is Spinal Tap” then you don’t know what bands are watching in their tour busses. It’s old, it’s gold, it’s ageless.
I join the chorus of the many in the genre world expressing shock and sadness at the news of Tony Todd's passing. A performer with one-of-a-kind gravitas, he was a luminary, an icon, and undeniably definitive. What a presence. What a voice. We lost a legend.
