RIP Time again.
Julius Carry died on Tuesday. And if no other news service is going to carry the story, I bloody well will.
Another genre favourite bites the dust. This has been a horrible year for losing those people you just love to see turn up even in the smallest of roles. As one of those lunatics who actually thought "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr" had a better chance than its stablemate "The X-Files", and as one who has been persistently impressed by Julius's ability as Lord Bowler to steal the show right out from under Bruce Campbell's nose (and believe me, there's very few people who can do that)... this news saddens me terribly. That's him in the pic above, standing just behind Kelly Rutherford at her most winsome, and managing to somehow maintain his composure despite the lovable John Astin grinning like a loon right next to him.
As is my wont, I'm off to watch an episode of Brisco by way of tribute. "Socrates' Sister", I think - featuring the rather marvellous moment in which Bowler attempts to sneak up on the villain of the week by pretending to be a log...
