The fog is getting thicker...

Had Johnny's voice in my head today for some reason. So I went on the ol imdb and sadly found that Stephen Stucker, the comedic genius that played Johnny in Airplane! passed away when he was only 38. He was one of the first actors to openly tell the media he was diagnosed with HIV. He even went on Donahue back when people were afraid of touching someone with HIV, to try and dispel the myth.

Apparently, he was also a gifted composer. In his short career, he gave some very memorable free and joyous performances

The fact that I can have his voice stuck in my head is testament to that.
