Sad to hear that, he did a show in London in the summer and was able to meet him (and have a chat about his roles in Die Hard and Texas Ranger), he did look a little frail but didn't realise he was ill.

Really hate to hear that. He was an excellent supporting actor in his most notable shows and movies. Curious if he ever headlined anything as the lead actor. I'd like to see that, if so.
His cameo in Karate Kid Part II's famous ice-breaking scene always seemed so random yet memorable.
