Men of War (1994)
6/10
RIP Trevor Goddard :-(
31 July 2003
Yes, he was a typecast actor, but I kind of liked him, for some reason. Now he's gone (died in June). I noticed him showing up in a commercial for a cheesy home cleaning product (a mop, or something; I forget what it was exactly) not long ago, and I remember wondering if he was doing alright. Action movie star -- well, star villain, anyway -- doing cheesy ads? Not a good sign, in my book; you're supposed to go the other way: from the ads to the movies! Now I really wonder what was going on in his life, particularly when his cause of death is listed as an apparent drug overdose. He must have been very unhappy.

This isn't about Men of War (I already commented on the movie, under my prior email address, in Feb. 2001) but I just felt like this death deserved some sort of note here. Things like this remind us that actors have the same problems the rest of us do. I just hope his wife and two kids are able to deal with this.

RIP Trevor.
