Richard Hatch, who played Apollo in the original Battlestar Galactica died recently too. I know that's off topic but thought it was worth a mention. I liked him. He was great in his role in the revamped Battlestar Galactica too.

I loved "How soon is never?", really sad to hear this news. Does anybody know what the hell happened to him?

Really enjoyed How Soon Is Never, as well as some of his writing for spin (the ryan adams article was fun). Maron reposted his WTF episode after Marc passed, it's worth a listen.
