Who TF is Karga? That's Dillon, from Predator.

I thought he was already dead?! He was in heaven when we saw him again in Little Nicky!

Always going to be Dillon or Apollo Creed to me!

You mean Cal Weathers who played Carl Weathers from Arrested Development

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

One of the standby actors from my childhood, he was always a welcome sight in movies. As a person I never knew much about him, but I never heard of any drama around him. His addition to the Star Wars universe will be missed, he played a good and evolving character in the Mando show.

RIP.

I enjoyed his performances.

Also, I hope I look half that good when I'm in my 70s.

That’s unexpected - he seemed so full of life

[–] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Pity. He seemed like a nice guy.

RIP, Action Jackson...

As kid I use to mix him up with John Amos. This sucks, I'm getting old and all my TV and move heroes are dieing.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Are you saying you're getting too old for this shit?

[–] BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 2 points 4 months ago

Damn, Bigfoot must be so happy to know Artemis Snodgrass is no longer hunting him.
