Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn!

You all beat me to it, but I'll say it anyway...

That news really breaks my heart, he was a great actor and seemed to be good natured and humble when he spoke in interviews. Truly unique, literally no one could replace him.

I do remember he said he admired the Planet of the Apes series because they didn't have the typically happy endings. Yet the endings weren't just to make people sad but that, that's just the way it is sometimes.
