These are beautiful. Long time fans should click though to see a picture of Michael Park holding a photo. It's really lovely. But it will probably make you sob.

Newbie here: who is in that photo?

[gimlicakeshop]

Benjamin Hendrickson. He played Hal Munson. A really fantastic actor who was on the show for 21 years and died in 2006. More information about him and his character here;

Heh, you beat me to it. :)

Thanks! I figured it was a former cast member.

OH my gosh. I hadn't known that his death was by suicide.

[gimlicakeshop]

Yes, very tragic. And if you remember, Jennifer's death bed scenes were on screen at about the same time as, or very soon after, his death was announced. Those scenes were very hard to watch. He was such an amazing actor. I hope they are able to incorporate him into the ending in some way - Hal was tied to so many people on the canvas.

He's holding a picture of Benjamin Hendrickson, who played Hal Munson, Parker's biological father. He worked really closely with Michael Park, and from everything I'd read, were good friends off the set. He passed away four years ago.

Thank you!

HAL. I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

So touching and lovely for Michael to do that. Losing Mr. Hendrickson that way.
