[s2gonzo]

Very underated actor who sadly passed away Tuesday......

Most will remember him for playing "Nice guy Eddie" in Resevior Dogs (or from Footloose)

They dont anymore than anyone else, you just notice it more because they are well known.

Probably got something to do with alcohol, heroin, cocaine, hotel rooms, etc, etc.
