This is the worst part of an 80's childhood. All the larger than life characters from the silver screen start getting old and dying on you.

R.I.P. you glorious bastard.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh? This is not unique to the 80s

Depends on your generation.

Lots of 70s folks died and I shrugged.

But as I'm a 80s kid, I hits hard.

RIP Carl. His Arrested Development skit will always be funny af.

[–] Betch@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

I hope he's got a stew going in heaven.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 14 points 1 year ago

76 is too young. There was still plenty of meat left on his bones.

[–] AlgonquinHawk@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ooooo I didn't realize he had one. Will have to watch :)

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's always a good idea.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Finally gone to hang out with Lincoln and that alligator.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

[–] tastysnacks@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I hated that guy in college. He ran all over us.

[–] SeedyOne@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

RIP legend. He always acted his ass off, every role.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i fucking found this out while i was eating burger king i picked up on the way home. i feel this is appropriate.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As I read the headline, a gambling ad with him in it popped up on my tv. So weird.

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dude that sucks, he was a real talent. One of the few actors who I think could have done just as good a job as Carl Winslow on Family Matters.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

ah....man....

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

R.I.P. big dude.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, that's a bummer. I had no idea he was 76, dude could've been 50something.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was 40 when he was in Predator!? Damn, as someone just on the wrong side of 40, that is a blow to the ol' body image.
