Not so much a movie career, but man, I miss having Phil Hartman around. I loved anything he ever did on TV. He just seemed to have limitless talent.
I regret not seeing what might have become of Heath Ledger. I liked some of his work, and I got the feeling he was on the way up, in terms of developing his talent, when he died. I had much the same feeling about River Phoenix.
Chris Farley had his moments. John Belushi. John Ritter. Andy Kaufman. Gilda Radner. Christopher Reeve.
And maybe he might not be at quite the same level, but I really liked Glenn Quinn (Roseanne, Angel), and was extremely sad when he died.
