Do you think Ed Harris is shitting bricks right now?

He’s probably afraid to get on a plane or drive on the highway until some other actor or musician dies.

I would be very careful if I were Harrison Ford. 😉

I would figure it has already been taken by Lo Lieh, one of the greatest old school Kung Fu masters and easily recognizable in the Classic Five Fingers of Death. He died a few days ago at the age of 63. Guess he is not celeb enough.  
If I may throw a vote in, lets go with Thomas Harris. I figure a few of us after reading **Hannibal** would volunteer to do the deed personally for him.

Harris is a ASSHAT for what he did to the character of Starling.

How about ex-Ontario Premier Mike Harris? The guy’s never looked real healthy, and one of his longtime cabinet ministers, who was about the same age and build, died a year or so ago.

Not that I wish him ill, or anything. I don’t like him, but I don’t want to see him dead. Electorally humiliated, yes, but not dead.

Rolf Harris must be in his Seventies by now… and it can’t be healthy, inhaling paint fumes all the time… that’s who I’m betting on. (Or is Rolf only a Brit/Aussie phenomenon?)

George Harrison? Hopefully we’re finished with this death thing for awhile.

PS… Goodbye Duck of Death. You did nice work.

_Mr. Harris? There’s a kangaroo, a koala bear, and a platypus duck who wish to speak to you…_
