Godspeed Chappy

Reading about Gosset Jr. the man his character was based on was pretty interesting this morning.

I liked his role in Toy Soldiers.

RIP Chappy

One of the best movies ever Iron Eagle. That was until he shared the screen with a young @Nessinator and made one of the worst films I’ve ever seen Iron Eagle III.

One of my favorite actors. Probably my favorite of his roles was in one of his lesser known movies, Diggstown, with Bruce Dern and James Woods (and a few other eventually famous actors). RIP Honey Roy Palmer...

He was really good in An Officer and a Gentleman. Can’t quote those lines here but they were some good ones.

I still remember when he got to play an alien in Enemy Mine, which was a fun flick from the mid-80s.
