The Law of 3 happened again: Edward Woodward, Ken Ober and now Dennis Cole
all right in a row - passed away.

Edward Woodward is a long time actor most notably known for his part in "The Equalizer" TV show
Ken Ober was one of the first VJs of MTV and host of "Remote Control"
Dennis Cole was a popular 70's actor and ex-husband of Jacquelyn Smith (he was Lance Prentiss on 'Young and the Restless' and regular on many of the TV shows of the 70s like Love Boat, Fantasy Island & Charlie's Angels)

1. Dennis Cole's son Joe Cole was Henry Rollins best friend
Joe was murdered in a robbery and Hank has never really recovered from it.

Safe Passage Dennis.

2. What a bummer!
Edward Woodward was in the original Wicker Man and was in Hot Fuzz. He rocked.

Dennis Cole. He was a terrific actor. Didn't he play Lumberg in Office Space?

And Ken Ober was a terrific host. I wish he had worked more, he seemed like a good guy.

I will miss them all.

12. Thanks for the correction
I met Henry Rollins the year after Joe Cole was murdered. He seemed haunted at the time. And could you blame him? I just recently listened to his piece entitled "Everything" where he goes into Joe's murder and the rawness of it hits you like a brick.


Thank again for the correction. :hi:

5. My wife says the same thing?
Are you Catholic?

I pointed out that the NY Times web page lists three famous people who have just died and their obits. I don't know, but make whatever you want to out of it. I'll have to ask the FSM if that really is true.

:shrug:

6. What about Antonio de Nigris and Robert Enke. Methinks this Law of 3 is being manipulated.
