  LALD's Tommy Lane was born Tommy Lee Jones.
  
  RIP Tommy Lane. He had a small role in LALD but did it well.
  
  I'll go watch The Fugitive in his honor. ;)

  Sadly actor Jack Hedley has passed away at the age of 91.
  Hedley played the small but important role of Sir Timothy Havelock in FYEO.

  Sad to hear, I love FYEO and always enjoyed the short performances of Melina's parents. RIP.

  I know what some of you will say : that this actress's demise has no place in this thread. But I beg to differ. After all, she travelled in a gimmicked-up car created by Bond's creator, and confronted one of Bond's most famous villains, and that, in my mind, is reason enough fo that honour. So, it's with great sadness that I have to tell you that actress Sally Ann Howes, who played the aptly named Truly Scrumptious (and she certainly was) in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, has passed away, aged 91.

  Sucks to hear, I've always liked his appearance during the finale, as short-lived as it is. RIP.

  Sad news about Kenneth Tsang. He was very effective as General Moon in DAD.

  Goodbye Mr. Tsang. I always found his role in DAD very impactful.

  I enjoyed it too. Not a character I have thought much about, but on further reflection, I like it quite a bit. I look forward to seeing Tsang's performance again on my next watch. RIP Kenneth Tsang

  Moost wil remember him from Rush Hour 2. He also is seen in Anna And The King (1999) with Jody Forster and Tom Felton.

  Ever since I was a kid, I was always struck by Kenneth Tsang's DAD performance. The man is on screen for less than five minutes but he steals the film. It's disproportionately great work to the point where it feels entirely out of place in DAD. I wonder if he was aware of what the content of the rest of the film was like, he might not have played it so straight :))

  In light of his importance, I've decided to bump this thread.

  I've been putting it off, but another DN rewatch would appear to be in order.

  Sad to learn of the passing of Monty Norman. The man who gave us 'The Bond theme'
  In terms of legacy it doesn't get any bigger.
  RIP

  RIP Monty Norman. What a legacy he will leave behind. The Bond theme could go down as the greatest song in movie history.
