He’s dead? Bummer 
What happened to him?
He died in a freak accident while making a movie, IIRC.
Count me in as someone else who didn’t know he was dead.
I didn’t find out about it until about a year after it happened.
er…sorry. Didn’t mean to kill the thread.
Slightly off-topic, but I was thinking about a fictional female character that it puzzles me that I don’t have any attraction to her.
I refer to Kiva of the Megas:XLR cartoon. She has an athletic build, an exotic mixture of features (red hair, Asian eyes, yellow-olive skin) and her personality doesn’t turn me off. I can’t name a thing wrong with her. But she does nothing for me. Zero.
I can get into the whole Luke Skywalker thing, but the totally hot Jedi Master is Qui-Gon Jinn.
In the elf category, Legolas is just too bland. Give me that smart-ass hottie Haldir anytime!
Accident on the set of a movie, IIRC.

I was close…
Kevin died in Beijing, China after suffering a severe head injury in a fall. He had just finished work on Warriors of Virtue: The Return to Tao (2002) at Beijing Film Studio.
(From his IMDB entry.)
Expanding this a bit further into comic books that haven’t been filmed…you most recent mention of Abe reminded me…
Amphibian, from Supreme Power. >_>
Aragorn is not the son of a king. He is a direct-line male decendant of the kings of Arnor and Arthedain, at least one of whom (Arvedui Last King of Arthedain) married into the royal family of Gondor. I could go into more detail, but I will spare you.
Fortunately, I have a number of understanding and supportive friends (some of them PHFs themselves), who haved helped me through this difficult time, and indulge my fetish by providing me with as many hobbits as a grown woman could wish for. A quick inventory reveals that I have at least 25 hobbits around my home and office, from tiny plastic ones to the life-size cardboard cutout; with a couple of exceptions, all of them are gifts.
Since Sam invariably gets Frodo in the stories I write about them, I don’t think he has anything to complain about. 
Carol (Marcia Wallace), The Bob Newhart Show’s tall skinny funny redhead secretary. An all-consuming jones for one rerun-filled summer when I was about 15. Thank Og that faded; I saw her a few years back on some infomercial and she looked like a very large and heavy gay man. (NTTAWWT!)
Sally (Rose Marie) on the Dick Van Dyke Show. Yeah, Laura was incredibly hot and sweet and all…but can you imagine the unanswered sexual longings Sally had built up? She could probably have sucked the face right off a man’s skull.
I had the serious hot bananas for Barry Miller as Ralph Garcey in Fame. Actually, I have the serious hot bananas for Barry Miller, full-stop.
Vincent from Beauty and the Beast, the TV show with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. Oh, my teenaged-girl fantasies about him running through the subways to my rescue…top that, you pervy hobbit fanciers!
I put my vote in for Jughead and Mr. Spock, too. I’m a sucker for a sidekick.
Is it wrong for a 38 yo woman to be attracted to Harry Potter? Cause, like, my, um friend thinks he’s an extremely hot young man.
(Miss Mapp, is it possible you haven’t seen The Very Secret Diaries yet? They are absolutely hysterical.)
Miss Mapp said: “Since Sam invariably gets Frodo in the stories I write about them, I don’t think he has anything to complain about.”
I’m so very glad she didn’t say “Since Sam invariably gets Frodo iin the end n the stories…”
Yes those Secret Diaries are hilarious, tho I am definitely not a slash fan.
(
As I mentioned earlier my embarassing attraction is to movie Frodo. I forgot to mention that I embarass my teenage daughter by pointing out all the cute guys/men in any movie we go to see - Freaky Friday, Cellular - they had cute young men. She barely put up with my Capt. Jack Sparrow fixation.)
Yes, I’ve seen them. I did refer to pervy hobbit fanciers (PHFs) in my previous message, you may note.
I’d forgotten about B&B’s Vincent. I too had a sort-of crush on him, long, long ago.
You just know that sex with him would involve food in some way.
