Rick Ducommon...such a small celebrity I don't even have a link.

People keep mentioning this "Burbs" movie that I am pretty sure no one saw. I remember him much more from his stand up routines back in the 80's. Funny guy.

Plus he shut down the power to Nakatomi Plaza, so that's pretty cool.

I remember him from the Burbs and the guy Taylor Negron kills in The Last Boy Scout (lost Taylor Negron this year, too). Surprised he didn't do better after The Burbs. I also remember him in the forgotten Cold War comedy The Experts (with pre-comeback Travolta).

I saw The Burbs in theaters...  It's really pretty funny.  Carrie Fisher's in it too.

And one of the Cory's...  One that isn't dead.

And we just lost Tony Longo, also from The Last Boy Scout. That's three inside a year. Poltergeist Curse Pt II?

I always liked Tony Longo, so many memorable cameo roles.

Looks like Dick Van Patten just made this thread too. I guess "86 is Enough"  :D

I apologize for that.

Since it's been confirmed, James Horner.  :'( 

Some great soundtracks of his accompanied and made movies spectacular.  Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan being one.

Don't forget it's clone soundtrack for Krull.

I think the only move I ever saw Omar Sharif in was Top Secret! Probably not the best display of his depth.

I'm surprised that Omar Sharif never made it into Star Wars. He would have made a great bad guy.

Omar Sharif was the man!  His role in Lawrence of Arabia alone was phenomenal.  But I have to love him for being in one of my favorite bad movies of all time:  The Thirteenth Warrior.

In high school a kid in one of my classes changed his name to Omar because Sharif was his favorite actor.

I liked in him as a Mexican in bad western McKenna's Gold (Julie Newmar and Ted "Lurch" Cassidy play native americans in it, too)
