As a gamer, I remember Jones in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. I think he was the first "Real" celebrity they used in that series, and by the time of Red Alert 3 they were using A-list actors for all major roles. But he was the first.
If you're referring to.........."THIS IS CNN". He made millions off of that. Like a million a word.

No, he plays the Commanding General of you, the main player. Even talks to you in the first person. The previous games had only used no-name actors, so this was a huge step in casting. And this was just the type of genre that was right up his alley.

...and one of his lesser-known movies...a great one, also baseball-related. The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars And Motor Kings. He plays a Josh Gibson-like character.

One of the great soliloquies in contemporary movie history:
The only thing wrong with this movie. Ray Liotta plays Shoeless Joe Jackson. He batted right and threw left.

Joe Jackson threw right. Batted left.

D.B. Sweeney portraying Shoeless Joe Jackson in Eight Men Out batted left and threw right. They got it correct.

He looked pretty frail in BHC:Axel F. He did a lot of character appearances going back to the 70s.
No he didn't. I thought that myself when I saw the movie. I'm glad he was able to be a part of the new movie before he passed.

I'm not a huge sports guy, but out of the main ones that people follow, baseball is the one I'll usually watch. I'm sad about this. When I was a kid, and played a little bit of baseball, the Indians, and Reds were my 2 favorite teams. My Uncle even took me down to Cincinnati, to see the Reds play, so I did get to see Pete and my favorite ball player ever, Johnny Bench play. I think they were playing Pittsburg, but I can't remember who won.

I know you made some mistakes, but you did bring a lot of joy to a lot of fans. Rest In Peace.

Something is obviously going on. This thread has been used A LOT over the last few days. I can't believe how many celebrities, across the spectrum have been passing away. There's been at least a half a dozen people that have passed in the last couple of weeks.

I never watched the show, but I know it was pretty popular. R.I.P.
We're actually having a pretty slow year, if you go by the fellows at

4/50 dead, but the year isnt over, is it? I often think about the 'death dip' as a contributing factor.

The phenomenon you’re referring to is often called the “Death Dip” or “Death Deferral” effect. This effect describes how some people seem to hold on to life until after significant events, such as holidays, birthdays, or family gatherings, before passing away. This has been observed in various studies and anecdotal reports, particularly among terminally ill patients.

It’s believed that psychological factors, such as the desire to experience one last important event or to avoid causing distress during a special time, can influence this phenomenon




/points to the elections, upcoming WW3 and such
