    "Dangerous" Dave Courtney, London gangland figure turned celebrity of sorts has shot himself at the age of 64. Did a lot of trashy crime docs and I remember some show he did in the early 2000s, probably on Channel 5, that was him doing intro links to shaky camcorder footage of brawls etc.

    Elizabeth Hoffman has died aged 96, RIP

    She didn't take up acting till she was in her 50's.

    A familiar face on TV in the 80' and 90's and probaly best remembered for the 90's TV series Sisters.

    I remember her from Stargate SG1 where she played Catherine Langford across a number of episodes.

    Mentioned already in the films RIP thread, star of the Shaft film series Richard Roundtree did a lot of tv. Including a somewhat forgotten TV series of Shaft, wasn't a ratings success and lasted one season.

    Richard Moll, who starred in Night Court, has died. He was 80.

    https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/richard-moll-dead-night-court-1235771133/

    For many he was known for Night Court, to me, he was known as the voice of Harvey Dent/ Two Face in Batman: The Animated Series. The show built up Harvey as this genuine close friend and ally of Bruce Wayne/ Batman. But we sadly see his mental health deteriorate... leading to the two part episode Two Face Parts 1 and 2.

    Probably the most complex analysis of mental health and a depiction of a mental breakdown and Disassociative Identity Disorder on television. And we also see the toll it takes on his loved ones, and the guilt Bruce feels with being unable to save his friend.

    And it was a kids show. Just incredible writing and voice acting.

    RIP.

    a real eccentric. A lot of people queried his gangland credentials but there is an interview with Ronnie Kray on his deathbed still on YouTube where he mentions Courtney.. a very flash and ostentatious and dare I say it at times entertaining individual…eccentric… here is his gaff… ‘Camelot’ in Plumstead…

    Too many credible sources reporting the story so I don’t imagine it’s bullshit…

    Genuinely sad to hear of Matthew Perry's death. He was only 54.

    Just reported, cause of death is a suspected cardiac arrest while in his hot tub.

    May he RIP.

    He was a very obviously troubled person, evident publicly in the most recent documentary.

    There's no blame or anything like that, I just personally feel like it's an awful loss of a person that possessed a lot of passion and had a unique talent for his craft.


    RIP

    Very sad news. Chandler was an iconic character for 90s TV. I also liked Perry when he appeared on The West Wing.

    Ah sh*t. That is devastating news about Matthew Perry. I loved him playing Chandler Bing in Friends.

    He was an iconic character in that show.

    RIP Matthew.

    For the past few weeks, I've been watching clips from the Friends' YouTube channel. They upload about 5 on weekdays and 3 or 4 on weekends. The last clip they uploaded is like an bad omen, just the 5 friends without Chandler:

    He was great in The Good Wife and later The Good Fight, continuing his political role.

    I know people like to shite on Friends but it was massive when I was in my teens. Chandler was nearly everyone's favorite.

    Very sad news.

    Friends will be rightly spoken about a lot over next few days but Perry was also in the excellent but short lived Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

    RIP, I dont think I ever watched more than two or three episodes of Friends as it wasn't my cup of tea, but it was absolutely huge in the 90s.
