That's a bummer. He's one of my favorite actors. Loved him in Blade Runner as well. And he was also awesome in Omega Doom and a handful of other movies.

That entire scene and ending of him really got my attention as a kid. And honestly that music and entire soundtrack also got me into Vangelis. Really saddened with his death.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

This sucks. He was awesome in Blade Runner and The Hitcher.

RIP.

I liked him in Flesh + Blood too.

And he improvised this bit: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
