RIP Reverend Whirley

[Amos Moses 795]

He stands above the noisy throng of pretentious actors - unequalled in his skill and legacy.  In other words, a true bad ass.  Rest In Peace.

RIP Squadron Leader Harvey

I would strenuously object.

Wow, it would take us months to unpack the depth and scope of his film career, and TV, and stage.  I had no idea until today how much wonderful work he had been a part of and how he did what he loved up until the end (4 films and 12 serial episodes just in the last 18+ months).  And by all accounts, a really solid guy.  

If you have a chance, watch a wonderful little animated film called "9."  Plummer is the voiceover of one of the "dolls" and it is so heartwarming (well, by the end anyways).  I didn't appreciate how brilliant his voice was, nevermind his acting range, until today when I thought of that movie.  He's apparently done quite a bit of other voiceover work in cinema as of late.  Then his musical affinities, physical presence, drama, comedy, horror, suspense, satire, straight-up impression acting, and then his stage prowess.  I don't know there was anything he couldn't master in the vast spectrum of storytelling.  What a life.  RIP sir.

Love it... but it’s this scene that gives me a lump in the throat every time.  It kills me when his voice breaks in the second stanza.

The Sound of Music is the best musical ever made and that will ever be made.  In large part due to CP.  Fight me.

Rest well, young man.  Rest well.
