Mitchell Ryan, character actor: "Electraglide in Blue", "Magnum Force" (where he ended up in the rubber gun squad IIRC), "Lethal Weapon" where he played the Evil General with Evil Intent, etc. etc.

Not a star as such but he was in a shedload of stuff.

Australia cricket legend Shane Warne has died at the age of just 52 after suffering a suspected heart attack, his management have confirmed.

In a statement, Warne's management said: "Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived.

"The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course."

Warne is the greatest leg-spinner of all time, having taken 708 Test match wickets, a figure only surpassed by Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan.

He also took 293 One-Day International wickets and made more than 300 appearances for Australia across all formats.


(Edited to say - Yes I had to check a few time as he was 52)

too soon?

I gather Warne was on a "liquid diet" for a week or two prior to his heart attack. So it may be he was gulping down pints and pints of milk each day, and the calcium overload caused it:
