The news started hitting last night and was confirmed and elaborated this morning: Julius Carry, who will always be Lord Bowler to me, died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56. According to Variety, donations may be made to The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

OMG, 56 is much too young. :( My thoughts go out to his family.

I loved that show so much. Now my dream of a Brisco movie will never be realized :(

What a shame! He had great comic timing.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

He did. And watching him ride a horse was a religious experience.

Aw, hell!

What a fine actor with a lovely singing and speaking voice, and by all reports a damn fine man as well.
And he sure wasn't hard on the eyes.

He left us too soon.

DAMN!

And he was so gorgeous, too....

(And, what is this, Black Celebrity Death Month?
He's the FOURTH so far, & all of them too young!!!)

Agreed, twice over... And if I were a conspiracy nut,I'd wonder that - what- three out of the four have been black? WHAT is up with THAT? Isaac, Bernie, and now Julius...

Re: DAMN!

Who's the 4th who wasn't black? LeRoi from the Dave
Matthews Band was also black!!

(Yes, a weird conspiracy suggested itself to me, too)

Re: DAMN!

I'm sorry! I didn't know him, and hadn't seen any pictures, so I only went with the ones I knew...
Sorry!
ANd yeah- that really only makes it worse... you'd think somebody had it in for talented black guys or something...
(Morgan Freeman's accident...)

Re: DAMN!

No need to apologize - I can't even remember how I found out.
But I see you didn't mean "3 black guys out of 4 dead ones", but
rather, "3 dead black guys out of 4 black guys who could've been dead."
Yeah, I suppose we were all lucky (but not as lucky as Morgan Freeman!).

& **MY** apologies

I see now how it looked, but no, I wasn't yelling at
you so much as just getting agitated over YET ANOTHER
guy dead (I thought) that I hadn't even heard of. It
was just shock & disbelief on my part, & I apologize
that it looked like anger at you.

Re: & **MY** apologies

[ladyfox7oaks.livejournal.com]

I didn't want to offend, and didn't mean to scare you with the thought that there was YET another...
To be truly honest my thought had been "Four guys dead, three known to be black, better to err on the side of caution and known (to me)fact." To be honest- I didn't think of Morgan Freeman's accident until after I'd posted, and it makes it "4 dead black guys out of 5 that could be dead"... yipe!

I heard about that late last night. *sigh* I loved him as Lord Bowler. This sucks. :(
