If you haven't seen him in "Posession" from 1981 you have been missing out. He was one of the best, by far.

That's on my watchlist! Didn't even know he was in it. Now I'm even more excited. Loved him in Event Horizon too. RIP Sam.

I knew the rule of three was going to take a good one. Not like this.

He had a great career. He was led to believe he was cancer free after treatment, but cancer doesn't get "cured".
