Kim Manners

From Jim Beaver's myspace:

"Jim is in mourning for one of the best friends and best directors he's ever known--Kim Manners, who died last night from lung cancer"

I don't believe that our show would be what it is had it not been for him. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and the cast and crew.

Oh, man. That really sucks.

[glendaglamazon]

It really, really does.

oh man, that just sucks. He was one of my favorite TV directors. :(

[glendaglamazon]

He was amazingly talented, and so integral a part of the look and tone of the show. I just keep thinking of how the boys talked about him, like their Jedi master. :(

Oh my gosh, I had no idea! How terrible.

[glendaglamazon]

Truly terrible. I just keep thinking about how everyone discussed how he set the tone for the set--a set that was widely reported to be one of the best in the business. I know I will miss his work very much.

That is so tragic. He was so delightful; to me and A when we visited the set. It's a loss to our world that his kindness and talent are gone.

[glendaglamazon]

My mind instantly went to all the wonderful things you had to say about him after that visit. I can quite literally only think of excessively glowing things people have said about him. His talent and, more importantly, his humanity, were a great gift to us all.

I didn't know, either. Apparently, he was hospitalized in December, but no public announcement was ever made about it. anteka who corresponds with people in the art department and visited the set said everyone was really optimistic that he would beat it.

From the immensely postive things that I have read other people say about him, I can only imagine that everyone is devastated.
