Masahiro Shinoda. Japanese movie director who filmed the earlier version of the novel "Silence" which is less known than Scorsese's, but it's actually much better and worth watching.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

That's a sad loss. He was really good and didn't seem to show up in the media gossip. I thought it was pretty classy that they figured out a way to bring him back for the second Top Gun movie. He really needed to be in it.

To me, he'll always be Chris Knight, a genius from Real Genius. He definitely wasn't a genius in real life though. He ignored a huge tumor for many months because of religious conviction before finally accepting reality and having surgery. He's lucky it didn't metastasize to the rest of his body. Looks like it came back to bite him in the ass anyway.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
