He was in a huge number of excellent movies, though often typecast as a German soldier. Played against stereotype in Hatari!.
Funny guy and will be missed.
Meat Loaf and Louie Anderson? Damn, what news to wake up to.
I always enjoyed his delivery. He made me laugh.
So, I didnât realize that Meat Loaf was a Covidiot.
The report from TMZ said he had âbeen outspoken about COVID, railing with folks in Australia recently about vaccine mandates,â but that his vaccination status wasnât clear. Last year, he promoted an anti-lockdown song from Eric Clapton and Van Morrison on his Facebook page
Oh yeah, he was a big time anti-vaxxer.
One story from the making of Hatari! that I found interesting is that KrĂźger who had attended an âAdolf Hitler Schoolâ, an elite nazi boarding school in a castle like some fucking comic book villain was aghast at how right-wing John Wayne was.
Yes, later in life he became an outspoken advocate against extremism:
KrĂźger came to despise the Nazis when he was still a 16-year-old soldier, a brave split from his background.
Also interesting is that the filming location for Hatari! was where KrĂźger lived, a farm in Tanzania he had owned for a couple of years.
Maybe not important or known to everyone, but Zen Buddhist Master Thich Nhat Hanh passed away at 95
Oh, no:
Horrible. I just posted that in the fuck today thread.
