Today on Unsolved Mysteries!

[giza]

Robert Stack dies at the age of 84

Some of you might remember Robert Stack as the host of the Unsolved Mysteries TV show. He also did the voice of Ultra Magnus in Transformers: The Movie, as well as later seasons in the TV show. He also played a bad ass general in the movie 1941. And let's not forget his appearance in the movie Airplane!

Those of you who are younger might remember him as the voice of Agent Fleming in the movie Beavis and Butthead Do America: "Agent Hurley, I want you to give this scumbag a cavity search! I'm talking Roto-Rooter! Don't stop until you reach the back of his teeth!"

*sigh*

[Edit: I told the news to a friend of mine who does not read LJ, and her response was, "Oh, I know who he is. I was on Unsolved Mysteries once!" Holy CRAP! What do I say to something like THAT?]

It's so he can hear the sound of sanity slipping away as Anthrocon approaches. ;)

Robert Stack was 84? He's dead?! Damnit! He sure didn't seem that old to me.

What a bummer. :(

I have to wonder how you end up on Unsolved Mysteries in the first place, heh.

There are just some things we're not meant to know.

So that would be an unsolved mystery then, right? :)

You forgot to mention Dragnet. Or was it Untouchables? One of those old B&W cop shows, anyways. He had one of the coolest voices ever... Gonna miss him. Now we'll never get him to appear at Botcon. Sigh.

I'd make a joke about him being one with the Matrix, but I can't deal with that now.
