RIP, SCOTT WILSON

I grew to love him, as a huge fan of The Walking Dead, where he was the kind and wise Hershel Greene. Seeing him on the aftershow, Talking Dead, and reading interviews, he came across as a quiet, gentle man who loved acting and his fellow actors. Say what you will about that show, but the cast are probably the tightest knit cast on TV, everyone whose been on it will attest to that, so I'm sure they're all deeply saddened by the news today. It was recently announced he would be returning, most likely to film flashback scenes.

He's had a varied film career, I've seen him in:
In the Heat of the Night
In Cold Blood
The Great Gatsby (1974)
The Right Stuff
The Aviator (1985)
Blue City
Malone
Johnny Handsome
Young Guns II
The Exorcist III
Pure Luck
Flesh and Bone
Geronimo: An American Legend
Tall Tale
Judge Dredd
The Grass Harp
Dead Man Walking
G.I. Jane
Clay Pigeons
The Way of the Gun
The Animal
Pearl Harbor
Monster
The Last Samurai
Junebug
The Host (2006)
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

I have The Exorcist III, The Way of the Gun, Pearl Harbor, Monster, The Last Samurai and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon all in my movie collection. He really stood out in both In Cold Blood and The Great Gatsby, for me personally.

Rest in peace.
