3 days ago I intoduced my 6 year old cousin to Tron. I remember Bernard Hughes from this and Mr Merlin and The Lost Boys most of all. As I was watching Tron the other day, I wondered whether Hughes was still alive. Kind of ironic to see the headline today.

He was a wonderful character actor made all the more fascinating by the fact that he got into acting by happenstance. He will be dearly remembered.

I know what I am doing this Thursday (my night off).
I am going to go to the store, get Rootbeer and Doublestuff MINT Oreo cookies They are going to go on the second shelf of my fridge. (with the cardboard flap, got to be consistant!)
I am then going to watch every damned thing I can get my hands on, that he is in.
"Second shelf is mine. That's where I keep my rootbeers and my double-thick Oreo cookies. Nobody touches the second shelf but me." -Grandpa
Now I am all teary eyed.

"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires." -Grandpa
Some business buddies of mine and I were just discussing a possible role for him to once again excel in. Too bad
Condolences to his family and friends. He made my childhood. God be with you. -

Oh heck yeah. That was one of those okay, okay, okay (to each persons lament) and then Grandpa LAUGHING fit, tears and lack of breath. Now for some that may not have been that funny, but for some reason, at that moment. It floored me.
sigh I posted earlier that I was going to get Rootbeer and Oreos and watch Barnard Hughes movies.. That is tonight! (I work graveyard, so yahoo! I can do it all, and I don't have to share! HAHHAHAHAHA! My cookies! MINE!)

A truly underrated character actor, whose message board was apparently pretty sparse before his recent passing. I guess Joni Mitchell was right: You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone. I especially liked his darkly comic turns in Where's Poppa? and The Hospital.

I've always wondered how Sanford & Son would've turned out if Norman Lear had stuck with his original choices of Barnard Hughes & Paul Sorvino instead of casting Redd Foxx & Demond Wilson in the roles of Fred & Lamont. Barnard Hughes was a great talent and so is Paul Sorvino but nobody could play those characters to perfection other that Redd & Demond.
R.I.P Mr. Hughes
