93 is a long ass life, bless his soul. I saw this quote from an interview he had around 10 years ago, and thought it was quite poignant yet evergreen: "The secret is never forgetting that you’re a journeyman actor and that nothing is your final thing, nothing is your greatest thing, nothing is your worst thing."

Godspeed on his journey across the rainbow bridge, and may his voice continue to live on across all media. o7

That is a good quote, I just try and think of it as don't focus on your worst self, best self or what you may end at, focus on the journey of life. Or...something like that.

Yes, RIP to a great person, enjoyed him as Vader and Mufasa.

I briefly thought he had already passed when I saw the news because of something I read a while back about how Jones had given the okay about Disney using AI to replicate his voice for Darth Vader, so the news of his actual passing did confuse me momentarily. Sweat

For me his role as Mufasa is my favorite of his. While Vader is iconic, I just prefer that Mufasa has no slight distortion to his voice and how soothing yet strong it sounds. ^_^

Dame Maggie Smith (89)
I'm sure everyone has probably already become aware of this by now, but I still wanted to mention that Dame Maggie Smith has passed away at the age of 89. She was best known for her roles in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.

BBC | Tributes paid to 'true legend' Dame Maggie Smith


Amazing actress who nailed her role as McGonagall in Harry Potter which is really the only role I've seen her in myself. Seems she just passed away in hospital naturally which I'd say is a blessing along with the age she reached.

Yes, RIP to her. She was brilliant as McGonagall indeed, knew she was in Downton but I was never into that. Could've sworn I saw her in something else, the only I know I've seen is Hook (1991) but don't remember much of her parts in that and had to look them up.

I'm gonna pitch these as possible roles you might have seen her in:
  • Nanny McPhee
  • The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
  • David Copperfield

I only remember seeing her on the cover of the Hotel movie, and like the other two I didn't watch. Or if I did they weren't memorable to me. Eh.

Nobuyo Ōyama (90), Voice Actress for Danganronpa and Doraemon, Has Passed Away
I personally haven't heard of her before this due to not consuming any of the stuff she worked on, but wanted to share this in case anyone else here does know of her. She actually passed away on September 29 but it seems the news was only shared publicly today.

As the title suggests, she was best known for her roles in Danganronpa and Doraemon. For the former, she was the voice actress for the series main villain Monokuma, whilst for the latter she was the voice of the titular character for the shows 26 year run from 1979 to 2005.

Her passing was due solely to old age; however, she did retire from voice acting in 2015 after being diagnosed with dementia and lived in a retirement home permanently from 2016 until her passing.

David Harris, Actor in the Cult Classic ‘The Warriors,’ Dies at 75
David Harris, who played as member Cochise in the titular street gang of 1979 cult classic movie “The Warriors,” died on Friday at his home in New York City. He was 75. His daughter, Davina Harris, said the cause was cancer.

Man I don't know of any of his other work (if any) but I love The Warriors so to hear the news unexpectedly from my dad of one of the actors passing away struck a chord with me. Sad

Damn sucks to know one of them's gone, although yeah I have no clue what else Harris has done, nor knew of his name as I only know Remar and may recognise Beck if it was him, that's it. Makes me want to watch The Warriors again. RIP sir.
