Rule #1: Use enough gun |
http://www.foxnews.com/enterta...eard-dead-at-72.html John Heard, the actor best known for his role as the dad in the original “Home Alone” movies, died on Friday, July 21. He was 72. According to TMZ, he was found in a hotel in Palo Alto, California by the maid service and was pronounced dead at the scene after police were called. The Santa Clara County medical examiner's office confirmed his death. “I can confirm that our officers responded with the fire department to a hotel in our city yesterday on a report of a person in need of medical aid,” a spokesperson from the Palo Alto Police Department told People. “The person was determined to be deceased. While still under investigation, the death is not considered suspicious at this time.” The Emmy nominee had undergone minor back surgery earlier this week and was said to be recovering at the hotel. Heard's cause of death has not been immediately released. Besides “Home Alone,” Heard appeared in dozens of movies and shows like “Big,” “Awakenings,” “The Pelican Brief” and “The Sopranos.” Heard had three marriages including one to actress Margot Kidder. He is survived by three children including one with former partner Academy Award-winning actress Melissa Leo. He was arrested in 1991 and charged with third-degree assault for allegedly slapping Leo. In 1997 he was found guilty of trespassing Leo’s Baltimore home. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

Always liked him. First thing I saw him in was Cutter and Bone, also known as Cutter's Way. He was on actor's holiday and was terrific. R.I.P. | |||

Is that an industry term? Da' heck. Anyway, I will always remember him from the movie Big. It was the first movie that I remember seeing him in. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

Detective Vin Makazian on the Sopranos was my favorite part he had and he played it to the T. Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbrYZmNx6mI Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsLOeYoG2S8 | |||

Had to look him up, had him confused with John Hurt. Who, unfortunately, is also gone. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I didn't realize he was 72, either. I always enjoyed his work. | |||

He was great in The Sopranos, always felt a little bad for him the way Tony treated his character. He did a good job playing the asshole in Big.

RIP. I always get him confused with William Hurt, but I always got it figured out. These guys that we always considered average age are starting to take the last train west. ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | |||

RIP, remember him from the Miami Vice episode "One way ticket" where Crocket hits the range for some "therapy". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

Throw in John Hurt (who died a few months ago) and I got real confused. | |||
