Too young. He's only 67. I'm 60, I guess I should get used to seeing entertainers I like drop off more frequently, until it's my turn.
Take care, Bruce. You brought a smile to my face many times.
My dad just died at 68 from incurable cancer. It sucks.
That's horrible, my condolences
Bruce, so many good things he's done, like Brisco County, Jr & Jack of All Trades (and the evil dead stuff of course).
Beat wishes bro!
He was the best part of Burn Notice.
Not exactly a high hurdle, but he definitely cleared it.
Yes 100% this. Mike was decent, Fiona was a bit cringe most of the time, but he was really amazing. He was the comic relief character but also had a decent mix of seriousness too. The mom was decent but he is definitely #1.
In fact I only really know him from Burn Notice and didn't even realize most people know him from Evil Dead.
Edit: typo
Amen! I thoroughly enjoyed both shows. I wish they were available for streaming somewhere! Both shows helped me get through a hospital recovery and relearning English. Stay strong Bruce!
Amazon sells both for really cheap, like $10 on dvd!
I guess it’s time I buy a DVD player again lol
Oh no, that’s so sad. He said it’s “treatable” not “curable”😭
Which just means a deteriorating quality of life :(
Fuck bring on the nucks world can end now. Fuck cancer wish I could track it down and kick its teeth in.
Not groovy.
Well, shit, that's not very goovy. Particularly when the deadites seem to be taking over the world nowadays. We still need you, Bruce.
This man, is one the good ones, speaking from personal experience. Wishing his family the best.
But he said the words right, every syllable! Seriously though, fuck cancer.
Not Chuck Finley!
Prostate cancer seems like it might fit the bill. Treatable, sometimes not curable, and people can die with it and not from it. Good luck, Bruce. Hope it goes well.
Maybe we shouldn't speculate about someone's illness like this.
It's actually weird he didn't just name it. Health issues aren't the best thing to keep secret. I mean I suppose some might be embarrassing, but cancers aren't something to hide or feel guilty about.
The more people know, the more that can do.
Him naming it woulda probably encouraged people to learn about it, and may have helped some identify that they had it to.
Not naming it left it open to speculation, so that's gonna happen, nothing wrong with it at all.
If someone like Bruce says get yourself checked, or “I wish I’d been checked sooner…” some people might pay attention and it would be enough of a nudge to get checked themselves. It happens all the time, someone will comment to a star that “you mentioned (you had “x” symptoms or problem) and I noticed similar things about myself so I got checked. It saved my life…”
It’s helpful.
That said, it is personal, and if Bruce doesn’t want to share that’s absolutely his right. We don’t know how he feels about it or what he’s dealing with emotionally. People should respect that. I took a guess as to the problem, but I would never expect he reveal the actual issue.
Well shit
There goes Père Noël.
