I usually don't give a rat's behind when a celebrity dies, but when it's someone who has made you laugh, I feel a tinge of sadness. First saw him as the camp film director in Blazing Saddles. .."hands on your hips..stick out your tush"....

I also loved his guest appearance on Stargate SG-1.
Very talented guy both on and off screen.
RIP 'Urgo'

Here, here. What a great movie. I bought the DVD the other week and then watched it worrying that it wasn't going to live up to the high reputation I had of it as a kid. Fortunately, I need not have worried - still brilliant. Talk about a cast...
This clip of him and Johnny Carson is a gem...bloody amazing trick but the whole thing descends into mayhem...the ending is a scream so try to stick with it (hint: watch Dom's trousers)
Last week I watched 'The Cannonball Run' in Captain Chaos' honour. Another star of that film, Farrah Fawcett also doesn't appear to be long for this world.
