A family member put on a game show that included Brian Blessed and I commented it ‘must be old as he’s been dead for a while’?
Nope. 88 and going strong.
Who else has surprised you?
Christopher Loyd for a while
Earl Holliman of “Police Woman” fame. He passed just the other day.
You’ve misunderstood the assignment.
Doh. You are correct. I guess I would have passed the assignment if I had replied last week.
So close… But no cigar!
Abe Vigoda
… oh wait, he did actually finally die in 2016
James Earl Jones prior to him actually passing away.
Yes. I think his character dies in one of the Jack Ryan films (clear and present danger?) and for years my brain thought that was real life…
Mel Brooks. He turned 98 this year.
Jürgen Habermas.
Brian Blessed is still alive? Bah, who wants to live forever?
DIVE!
Tom Petty
He’s dead.
What?!
Buzz Aldrin.
Donald trump. Unfortunately.
You… thought Donald Trump was dead? Unless you don’t live on this planet, I don’t believe you.
Michael Caine
Brian Blessed (88) is still alive, so is John Rhys-Davies (80). But we did lose large, loud, Scotish actor Robbie Coltrane (72). :(
Not gonna say because I don’t want to jinx it
OJ SIMPSON
I thought Mr dress up was dead for years before he actually died . Pretty sure that was just a Canadian show so most people probably have no idea what I’m talking about . But he was like Mr Rogers and made lots of cool things with construction paper and glue .
I’m not sure why I thought this, but I thought Carole King died in the late 80s. Nope, she’s still kickin’.
