Yes, I read this on cnn.com this morning. Sad day... Ossie Davis was an amazing actor and activist. He apparently started a new movie on Monday.... he died in his hotel room. Shitty.

Wow! Actors die all the time and , with the exception of Jerry Orbach, I usually don't give a damn. But these two are near and dear to my heart as they are both in two of my all time favourite movies, respectively. Rest in peace fine fellows...
