1-12: Amen!

On ABC Family the Breakfast Club will be on this week, probably as a tribute.

I hope he did not have to suffer. I have seen what lung cancer can do first hand. My prayers to his loved ones.

“I’ll rip out your eyes and p*ss on your brain.” That line is from the film “Trading Places”, where Gleason played Clarence Beeks. Great movie, and it was the first I noticed him in. He was truly a tremendous character actor and well-deserving of a fitting tribute, one which he has here at Cryptomundo. God bless Paul Gleason.

Also from Paul Gleason, real-life:

“My biggest weakness is patience, wanting to see things happen too quickly or get changes in place right away. Not having the patience to let things develop.”

Wasn’t his most famous line in Die Hard? When the two FBI agents copter went down, I think he uttered the best line of dialog in the movie; ‘We need to get us a couple more FBI agents’, or something close to that.
Condolences to his family and friends. He possessed a memorable face to go with his memorable roles. He will live on through his fine work in motion pictures.

this is a loss to the acting community, i have enjoyed many of the characters he has portrayed, like in the breakfast club.
