KWise: can we have a link of some sort?

Silvy · 08-11-2003, 02:47 AM

Not to steal K-Wise's thread, but here's a link to a small biography:

News article:

I never knew him by name honestly, but I recognized him in several appearances. I figured him a likelable person. It's a sad day.

I've always been excited to see Hines popping up in one film or dancing in another. Unfortunately, I've seen little of him since his run on Will & Grace. He will be missed.

muckluck · 08-11-2003, 05:39 AM

He is missed Greatly where I'm from. I live right across the river from NYC and thats where he came from. I knw people that saw him dance in the Apollo.

A sad loss
I always enjoyed his skills
What a talented man,
with a great personality to boot.

remiel · 08-11-2003, 07:45 AM

damn, one of my favourite actors and song-and-dance men. Astonishingly talented both at the dance and the acting. I'll miss him a lot.

They'll be tapdancing in heaven tonight.

This is so sad, many of the greats are starting to go.

Troublebot · 08-11-2003, 09:10 AM

Amazing dancer and a heck of a funny guy too.

Rhythm and comedic timing to boot.

Very sad. I know we will miss him.

frankx · 08-13-2003, 07:03 PM

Very sad, indeed.

It's certainly not his only great role, but the one I'll remember most is Jocephus in History of the World Part 1.

The world has lost a tremendous talent.

Haha ...the eunich scene will remain forever a classic in my uncultured mind

He also rocked in "running scared"
one of the best buddy movies ever.

it's a pitty.

BigGov · 08-14-2003, 06:21 AM

He was a great actor. Had alot of presence.

His guest appearance as defense attorney on Law & Order made it one of their best ever.

BigGov WoW or Class... Location: UWW	He was a great actor. Had alot of presence. His guest appearance as defense attorney on Law & Order made it one of their best ever. __________________ One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
