Thoughts and prayers for you and his family at this tough time.
Thanks... I'm not devastated because he was very old and very sick (Alzhemer's disease), but it's tragic how this family suffered. My childhood friend had grown apart at some point in teenage. I always felt uneasy meeting him again when he was on medication, he was just not the same person.
I've seen many people suffer from various diseases, a lot of them bring their share of tragedies, but mental ilnesses are the ones I fear the most.
I agree with mental illnesses being feared the most. As someone who has a form of autism and depression, I understand that it can be difficult for other people to be around. I lost an aunt on New Year’s Day to various diseases, namely Parkinson’s. It is sometimes better to not have to see them in pain. We are here too support you @Ludovico you are one of us!

That ol' chunk of coal would've had a field day today.
James Cameron wanted him to play The Terminator. He decided against it because OJ was too nice of a guy in his eyes. Further shows Cameron’s poor judgement of people and people skills, lol.
I take it this was an SNL skit?
And during Norm's time on SNL, he spent a hearty amount of his Weekend Update time cracking harsh jokes about OJ being a murderer. It eventually led to a big falling out with him and Lorne/the producers, and inevitably, his departure from the show.

And the world of comics has just lost writer, artist, and historian Trina Robbins, at the respectable age of 85 :

Among a lot of other things, she designed Vampirella's costume, but also worked on Wonder Woman. I met her twice in the '90s, at the UKCAC in London.
I didn't even know he was sick.
Im sad about Dan Gouzee , huge impact with 007 posters
That's a shame. Hopefully Megalopolis will be dedicated to her.

Watched him recently in 'The Long Good Friday', probably his finest hour, though really Bob was great in everything! 'A Prayer for the Dying' turned up on telly a few weeks ago, a not so great thriller starring Mickey Rourke as an I.R.A. killer, Bob was in it as. Priest, and as usual stole it!
Here's what I've seen of his:
The Long Food Friday
Brazil
Mona Lisa
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Blue Ice
Super Mario Bros.
Nixon
The Secret Agent

so good in 'Boys from the Blackstuff'
"I'm Yosser Huuuuughes!"
One of the greatest scene in the LOTR's trilogy.
Oh no, I love Bernard Hill R.I.P.
'Gis 'A job' (headbutt). Yosser was a character.
We actually watched Boys From the Black Stuff in school during English lessons.
That's very sad.
He was excellent as Captain Smith in Titanic.
A powerful actor. I loved his moment in The Two Towers where he wakes up from his "trance" and gives Grima a look that says, "boy, I'm gonna rough you up good!".
Hill as King Théoden was incredible Hill has so much gravitas in that role.
The Two Towers is my favorite from the LOTR' movie trilogy largely down to Hill.
LOTR The Two Towers - Forth Éorlingas
Inspirational.
He was an admirer of Anthony Burgess, which I liked about him, Burgess being my favourite writer. But Pivot was also complacent (like the whole French intelligentsia) towards Gabriel Matzneff.
