YimSiam Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 The great Brian Dennehy a few days again - not the virus, apparently - brilliant character actor on screen who was reportedly outstanding in major stage roles as well - totally formative figures in my youth, the First Blood sheriff, the pilot in Never Cry Wolf, and so on. Just always seemed like a guy you'd love to be friends with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi, Yes, I was quite shocked to hear this. Had plenty of a nice evening with Ben, and quite a few stories as well, but probably best not to post those. We'd not really been in touch for a few years unfortunately. RIP, Ben.

cavanami Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'Life of Pi' star Irrfan Khan dies at 53 Irrfan Khan, star of Oscar-winning movies including Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi, has died at the age of 53. He had been admitted to hospital in Mumbai with a kidney infection yesterday, but his condition is said to have deteriorated. A statement from his representatives read: “It’s saddening that this day, we have to bring forward the news of him passing away. Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him. “After having been struck by lightning in 2018 with the news of a rare cancer, he took life soon after as it came and he fought the many battles that came with it. Surrounded by his love, his family for whom he most cared about, he left for heaven abode, leaving behind truly a legacy of his own. “We all pray and hope that he is at peace.” Khan had been treated for cancer in 2019 in London, after being diagnosed with an neuroendocrine tumour. His death comes just days after his mother, Saeeda Begum, died at the age of 95. He attended her funeral on Saturday via a video link. Khan, often known in India simply by his first name Irrfan, first began acting in television, after moving to Mumbai from New Delhi, where he studied at the National School of Drama...

Mekong Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 You mean that British movie directed by Danny Boyle (Train Spotting fame) Irrfan Khan wasn’t the Star, that would of been Dev Patel as Jamil Malik, Khan played a supporting role of a Police Inspector hence the reason, Who?
