They’re making a reboot of the original Highlander.

Sorry.

Suicide has never made sense to me.

If one lived in a horrific place where one is subject to torture, I suppose suicide is preferable to suffering. If you're an unhappy rockstar or movie star, it does not make much sense.

Wife ex-wife had a huge crush on Adrian Paul back in the day. Show was a cheesy but not terrible.

Carradine = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_asphyxiation

Epstien = Murder

I say Kirsch was in the Carradine crowd

I think some suffer depression, whether chemical or spiritual, that just blots out the real world and its grace.

Who was the guy who had the food show, Bourdain or whatever, I read that even on the set he would mutter about how foul and worthless and hateful he seemed to himself.

Tough row to hoe.

I doubt Barr will be appalled by this one. :-)

I had a casual acquaintance who went out that way about ten years ago. Everyone at the memorial seemed to pretend not to know, and/or wouldn’t talk about cause, except in whispers.

I really like the show. The first 6 seasons stream on Prime Video. Mythos, Darrius, Duncan, Joe, and Amanda in addition to Richie and Duncan were all well-acted parts.

The spin-off: Highlander: The Raven featured Amanda played by Elizabeth Gracen, who was allegedly raped by Bill Clinton in his governor’s limo if memory serves.

After going public she quickly retracted.

Anyhoo, great show. Adrian Paul has a re-occurring role in The Arrow. Rest in peace Richie!

A lot of these hangings are the result of auto-erotic sex that just went a little to far.

Usually the M.E.’s don’t report it as such but that’s what it usually turns out to be.

‘MY KIDS CLEAN MY SWORD’ Bloodthirsty Saudi executioner describes love of beheading as he reveals victims’ ‘strength drains away’ on arrival at Chop Chop Square
The dad-of-seven says he got his taste for beheading while working in a prison

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8972644/saudi-executioner-beheading-chop-square/

As an experienced executioner, 42-year-old Al-Beshi is entrusted with the task of training the young. “I successfully trained my son Musaed, 22, as an executioner and he was approved and chosen,” he says proudly. Training focuses on the way to hold the sword and where to hit, and consists mostly of the trainee observing the executioner at work.

Suicide. A permanent solution to a temporary problem.

That’s not such a bad thing. Better than if he got PTSD. People should like their jobs.

So do we count his suicide as 1 of the 1,600 deaths attributable to climate change?

GH had him listed as some character named “Carl” back in 1992, at the start of his acting career.

I enjoyed the show as well. For an actor, it must have been great to step out of the here and now, and play your character in a different period (50, 100, 300 ) years past every week. And Paul did it well.
