    Wow... this one is right out of left field, and hits a bit hard. Older than I thought he was, at 49, but man, brain aneurysms are fucking ruthless.

    Loved what he brought to Mythbusters... and Battle Bots.

    Boy it really stings when someone who just seemed like an all around good and decent person and whole public persona was one of pure positivity goes like this.

    I would have guessed mid-30s.

    Absolutely devastated by this news. The world lost a brilliant mind and an even better person.

    Everyone liked him. He was like a Mr. Rogers-type where he was just pure decency and kindness.

    Not just operated... dude was also the main tech (Artoo Technician) behind them... upgraded/maintained all the remote control systems, etc. One of the reasons he went to Mythbusters was that the physical modelling/animatronics role at ILM he had was shrinking due to expanded use of CGI.

    John Saxon. One of history’s most recognizable “That Guy” character actors. Best known as Hooper in “Enter The Dragon”, and Nancy’s dad in “A Nightmare On Elm Street”.

    Herman Cain. From COVID, although since he owned Godfathers Pizza he could have died from eating his own food.

    Wilford Brimley.

    Honestly, I didn't know he was still alive.

    Yup. The Fat Guy outlived many of his healthier or younger “Cocoon” co-stars. Including Brian Dennehy.

    although to be fair, Brinkley was cast as a senior citizen at 49 years old for that movie. He has ALWAYS looked old.
