RIP Luke Perry, 52

WOW, REALLY?! I am the first person to mention this?! :wtf:

LUKE PERRY has tragically passed away at the age of 52. I'm sure all have you have heard this by now, but it definitely deserved its own thread. I feel like I just bashed him a little over on JMS NEWS, but the truth of the matter is I always liked him. I did think he might have been a poor choice for JEREMIAH, but I still liked the show and he did shine, at times, as the series progressed.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't JMS want to do JEREMIAH and Luke Perry coming on board pushed his ability to do so over the top?
 
I've still never seen Jeremiah, but I grew up with and watched 90210 as well as Oz, one of my favorite shows. It was definitely a shock and sad that he passed at 52.
 
It is always bizarre when someone relatively young and apparently quite healthy suddenly dies. I did not see a great deal of his work, but I always enjoyed him. He was excellent in Oz.
 
I've still never seen Jeremiah.

SAY WHAT?!?!?!?! I think you have a mission, though I admit you will not likely be immensely impressed with Mr. Perry's work. You still need to see it for the JMS connection.

And I had NO clue he was on OZ. I've never heard much about that show that would give me the desire to see it, other than I know the acting is outstanding. I just don't think I need a prison drama in my life.
