RIP 2022

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

David Warner has passed on too.
British actor, did a couple of film roles, but was really impressive as a voice actor. If anyone remembers the old Baldur's Gate 2 game, the voice of Irenicus is dead.

"A couple of film roles" is a bit of an understatement... he's like in everything. I think the first thing I saw him in was TMNT2 and that's probably way down on his resume.

For a second there, I thought it was another cricket dying in a short space of time...

I didn't immediately recall the name, but when I read a few of his roles, I knew exactly who it was... and I think the roles I remember most include Tron (the main villain), Time Bandits, Star Trek (multiple roles, but Chancellor Gorkon in ST6 was one that stood out for me), one of the original TMNT movies, Titanic (the one who locked up Leonardo's character hoping he would go down with the ship), and had quite a few roles in Doctor Who as well (most being voice roles).
But Tron will be the one I remember him best from... the perfect villain.

Ah, another name I didn't recognise, but the face I certainly do - Donna Noble's grandfather in Doctor Who.

RIP Nichelle Nichols, most famous for playing Lt. Nyota Uhura in the original Star Trek series and movies.

For the oldies out there... Judith Durham died this week. She was the singer for the Australian group "The Seekers"... who were around for almost 60 years (since the 60s), and had their first "farewell tour" in the 90s, but just kept on performing.

I have fond memories of listening to the Seekers during long car trips to the Southern Highlands as a kid. Rest in peace, Judith.
