Shit, I havent heard this on the news yet. Surprising, the guy was a legend. RIP Marlon, Shine on you crazy Diamond !

The networks haven't picked it up yet, apparently. Or they want to go with an obituary when they break the story.

[Panamark]

It will be big news....

Thats too bad, he was one of the greats. I cant say I am suprised; he has battled health and weight issues for years.

He was one of the greats. I thought he really brought the Jabba the Hut character to life.

Mezro...sad he ended his life looking like a pile of spent caulk

It just came out in the paper the other day that he was broke, living in a one room bungalow and owed banks $20 million. However, he did have a voice over gig coming up for an animated film. Article said he also stopped paying his $10,000 a month child support to his former house cleaning lady with whom he had 3 kids.

This is sad news. I really looked up for him, he did mess around a lot in his private life but was a really great actor. R I P

Was the Island of Dr Moreau with Val Kilmer the last movie he made ?
Its the last one I recall seeing him in...

His last film was in 2001 and was called "The Score" with Robert DeNiro.
It was a damn good flick in my humbled opinion.

It was directed by Yoda (Frank Oz) and like i said, was a damn good flick, check it out if you get a chance.
