    I loved his work on DS9. Sad to see him go. What a bummer on top of everything else going on.

    RIP. I love that movie too. Virginia Madsen did a wonderful job and the soundtrack by Philip Glass is sublime. It’s nostalgic for me as well, since it takes place in Chicago during my formative years, and it’s a little glimpse of what it was like at that time.

      It reminds me of the story of how Hitchcock thought Psycho was going to be a terrible movie, until Bernard Hermann took a stab at it

        Just respecting a legacy. All we gotta do when we need him is say his name. No need to mourn the immortal. RIP

        …until we need him anyway 😏
