Oh, this breaks my heart. I loved General Hammond and the man who brought him to life. Such sad, sad news.

I know. I was shocked when I heard about it yesterday morning. Made me sad all day.

Oh, man. This is awful news. I got to sit with him one day at D*C, and he was the NICEST guy...super friendly to fans and loved talking to them. He even let me read part of the manuscript of a book he was writing about acting, which was excellent. At that point he was going to retire because he was having trouble getting insurance to work because of previous health problems. He did his doctoral work on renaissance staging and I really was hoping to talk to him more about it.

This is so sad. :-(

I was really looking forward to meeting him at D*C because of how much everyone talked about him. It's so very sad and I feel awful for his wife. :(

I've never seen Twin Peaks, but I may have to now just to pay tribute to him. So very sad.

Yeah - oddly, when I got home today, this news (over on journalfen) was the first thing I saw after wrangling my PC into submission. :(

'tis v. sad indeed.

I did meet Don at Gatecon several years ago and he was the nicest guy w/ some of the strangest stories. ;) We're gonna miss him at Gatecon.

I'm envious of everyone who met him -- you all say the same thing...what a wonderful, nice, charming guy, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. I was looking at his art last night. What a talent he had.

Yeah - I was in the autograph line and talking to him while he was signing some things for me and I moved off to the side, not wanting to be rude while he was still talking, but there were like 200+ ppl behind me who still wanted to get autographs. Very nice, but I have a feeling he could talk your ear off if you let him. ;) I loved that he wanted to meet the fans and 'hang' with them a bit. A lot of actors wouldn't do that.

It's too bad you didn't get to meet him. You'd have liked him a lot.
