Unofficial Tex Murphy

Sad news, folks.

Kevin McCarthy as ascended to the stars for real this time.

To Quote Tommy Lee Jones:
No he isn't, he just went home...


Farewell on the long journey...

Working well into his 90's doing what he loved. I hope his life was rich and rewarding.

Out of all of the Tex games, he was my favourite guest star. A terrific actor who carried his characters with distinction, charisma and class. An actor who deserved more credit and yet another example of how ageism in the film industry can undermine the real talent.

Oh no this is terrible news. I will miss him.

Sad news, indeed. Good ol' Fitz was always my favorite of Tex's clients, and by all accounts Kevin McCarthy was nothing but a class act.

BTW, Adrian Carr has shared some sentiments and a great picture of himself and Kevin from the Pandora Directive premiere party on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6 ... =572687834.

Sad day, then. Damn.

Just caught the news...

I loved McCarthy's role as Gordon Fitzpatrick in The Pandora Directive. That entire opening scene in which he hires Tex is absolutely classic.

Of course, I appreciate is other work as well, and he will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the link James. This is such a sad start to a new week.

That is a sad way to start the week. He was a great actor; he'll be missed.

May he rest in peace. He will be missed.

Glad you stayed with us so long buddy. See ya in another life.

Oh s*it, very bad news.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! With his distinctive voice and his longevity, he was was a legend.

R.I.P. Kevin, you've just come back home.
