He will be missed. He was great in every role I saw him in, starting with The Voice in Dogma. I hadn't at the time realized he was in Die Hard, but saw it again later and realizes it. Seeing the news tore my heart out with a spoon.

Probably only twenty people get that reference, but he was really good in that role.

Never saw anything he did, which I did not like.

I guess Im one of the twenty then. That was a fun movie and yes he did a great job with the roll. It was almost like "real life" for him in that roll. :)

I too am in that 20, and that same ability likely landed him as the perfect match for the Paranoid Android role.  :aok

That's one of my favorite movies.
