Breaking Bad actor Mark Morgolis dead at 83


Aw.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I used to watch Margolis on The Equalizer (Edward Woodward original, not any of this 'new take'... stuff). Caught him in an episode of Columbo recently, too. Always liked him. RIP

 

[DarkKnight88]

My first and favorite role of his

 

[Drizzle]

RIP Mark Margolis. He did so much with basically no dialogue at all in Breaking Bad and really expanded on Hector in Better Call Saul. That's not even counting all of his other parts across the years.

Wow, been watching her in various things for over 50 years. Several things I remember her best for are LONE WOLF MCQUADE, NIGHT OF THE COMET, and THE STUNT MAN.

William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist and The French Connection, has passed at 87.

William Friedkin Dead: 'The Exorcist' Director Was 87 - Variety

Director William Friedkin, best known for his Oscar-winning “The French Connection” and blockbuster “The Exorcist,” died Monday in Los Angeles. He was 87.

His death was confirmed by Chapman University dean Stephen Galloway, a friend of Friedkin’s wife Sherry Lansing.

Along with Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola and Hal Ashby, Friedkin rose to A-list status in the 1970s, part of a new generation of vibrant, risk-taking filmmakers. Combining his experience in television, particularly in documentary film, with a cutting-edge style of editing, Friedkin brought a great deal of energy to the horror and police thriller genres in which he specialized.

Oh man. I’m gutted. One of the great directors. RIP Mr. Friedkin.

 

[Arachnerd]

A cinematic legend. RIP.

I wonder if they'll include an In Memory Of segment in the credits of Exorcist Believer now.

I'd be surprised if they didn't. After all, didn't Lionsgate manage to include an In Memory Of for Lance Reddick even though he died not too long before or right around the time of John Wick 4's premiere?

 

[Luigi]

RIP

One of the best.

 

[kguillou]

wow, I LITERALLY just watched To Live and Die in L.A. for the first time just yesterday!

R.I.P. def a pioneer filmmaker.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Sad to hear. Real 'old school' director. RIP William Friedkin.

RIP Sharon Farrell.
