  Overstated? No. My wife and I were discussing how we had looked
  forward to many more years of his incredible acting in (hopefully) choice roles.
  
  We'll have to settle for looking forward to what he left us with.
  
  Again and again.
  
  Such an ignoble end and tragic loss.

    a murder finding. actors usually aren't victims of that crime.
What a shame, most of his characters were quite memorable. I recall his "Lester Bang's Rock Critic" turn in - Road Warrior 13:17:55 02/02/14 (1)
Almost Famous (one of the better rock movies) vividly. That and his demented preacher in Cold Mountain, and Jeffrey Lebowski's valet(?) in, the Big Lebowski are probably my personal favs....

Drug overdose, had been out of rehab for ten days and had a history of heroin.

Are actors the unhappiest people in the world?
- FWIW (probably not much) CNN reported he still had the needle in is arm^ - Road Warrior 13:19:47 02/02/14 (1)
