Yeah sucks. I'd hope to run into him at a convention at some point to sign the Twister Jeep's sun visor.

I'm gonna miss him. I drug this back to the top because falling asleep last night I remembered another one of my favorite characters he played: Coconut Pete!


With hit songs like "Pina Coladasberg" and when he called Jimmy Buffett a "Son of a son of a b*". He was quite possibly the funniest actor in that whole movie, and it was a funny movie.

Tombstone, Twister and 2 guns are probably my favorite movies of his. Apollo 13 was pretty good too.
