Holy crap, I thought he was dead too... Turns out it was Raul Julia, Gomez in the Addams Family movies.

You've misunderstood the assignment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Doh. You are correct. I guess I would have passed the assignment if I had replied last week.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

So close... But no cigar!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I don't even remember why now, but just a couple days ago I looked up how long ago Harris Yulin died...still alive.
