Sad to hear the great Adrian Street has passed away. Back in the early 70s he was one of the stars of the TV wrestling scene and way ahead of his time in flamboyant glam-rock outfits.

A plus was he beat Jimmy Savile so badly he never wrestled again, knowing the DJ was boasting about sex with underage girls. WWF owes much to him as a trailblazer for what became such a popular phenomenon.

RIP...<rose>

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul veteran actor Mark Margolis has died at the age of 83, according to his family.

Best known in the role of Hector Salamanca on both series, he played a drug cartel member who uses a wheelchair after a stroke.

He passed away in a New York City hospital on Thursday after a short illness, his son said in a statement.

Margolis also had acting credits in films such Scarface, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and HBO series Oz.

In the Emmy-nominated role of Salamanca, Margolis portrayed a hyper-violent gangster who is unable to speak and uses only a bell and facial expressions to communicate.

The Breaking Bad Facebook account paid tribute to him, posting: "We join millions of fans in mourning the passing of the immensely talented Mark Margolis, who - with his eyes, a bell, and very few words - turned Hector Salamanca into one of the most unforgettable characters in the history of television.

"He will be missed."


Brilliant actor, his portrayal of Hector Salamanca was so important to the plot of both shows. RIP <peacedove><rose>

That is very sad but I thought he blew himself up about 10 years ago.

Parky was a great chat show host during an era when there was a different type of mystique surrounding cinematic and other stars. Most probably something to do with my own advancing years, but his guests seemed to be in the main proper stars compared to what we have today. I think there was something about being in awe of the lifestyles that they led in a day when we didn't consider lavish, opulent lifestyles vulgar and we all wanted to travel on private planes and rub shoulders with Tinseltown royalty at cocktail parties too.

I'm saddened but not particularly surprised by his passing - I saw him on the televisual podulator only recently and he looked really frail.
