I don't know how many people know Kim Chan, but he passed away on the 5th... I just heard about it yesterday myself... Man has been around since the 70s though... I remember him most from Lethal Weapon 4 myself, but he has been in many, many movies... He was 94 years old...

2008 just keeps rolling...



For you Aussies, I also heard that you guys lost a long time Politician down there... I believe his name was Jorg Haider, almost 60 years old... I don't know much about him, all it said was that he transformed Australian Politics...

A bit, or character actor in numerous films, he had a long and wonderous career. I remember him in 5th Element as the floating Chinese Restaurant owner. Too bad. As Queen would sing, "Another One Bites The Dust."

Would he be the actor from Lethal Weapon 4 who had the role of Uncle Benny?

Yes, he was Uncle Benny... I loved the Dentist scene, that was hilarious...

And yes I remember him as the Chinese Food Boat guy from 5th Element as well...



At least he lived a Looonngggg Life, 94 is a lot of years on this dirt-ball we call Earth...

I hate forgetting faces, names, places and things. I hate forgetting in general. But I love remembering!

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
