Oddly, I watched a Magnum, P.I. marathon this past weekend, and I wondered what the actors, other than Tom Selleck, were doing today.
Hillerman was one of a very few Americans able to fool me into thinking he was British until I read his bio. Now I have to watch my copy of Blazing Saddles to see his role again.
I'm imagining Higgins settling in behind his desk, working on his scale model of the Bridge on the River Kwai, starting in on a long-winded story about "the war" as "the lads" lie on the floor, listening, and Magnum sneaks out of the room.

Re: Thread : In the news today
Okay so Hiromi Tsuru died this week and it was pretty unfortunate. She only 57 and was the voice actor for Bulma from DBZ and Meryl Strife from Trigun.
I looked into it further and found out she was also the voice actor of Reiko Mikami from Ghostsweeper Mikami... that show was my gateway drug into anime when I was 7 and is a CHERISHED part of my childhood that i hold in high regard.
Goddamnit...just fucking hell man....

What did she die of, if you don't mind my asking?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Malcolm Young, co-founder of AC/DC, passed away.
If that isn't bad enough, it seems we're about to lose David Cassidy, too.

So long to actor and singer Jim Nabors.
And in worse news, Argentina ends search for missing submarine.
