        Watched it again within the last few years, and about a quarter of the way through I’m like WAIT THATS CPT HOLT. Never made the connection before because he’s so much younger in that movie, and wasn’t a name like Denzel or Broderick

      Strangely, I remember him from Men of a Certain Age the most.

      This might add new context to that show now.

      Article says “a brief illness”, which narrows it down.

          Yeah, my first thought was cancer, though there are plenty of other possibilities.

            I’d agree that cancer is most likely, especially given his relatively young age. Acute issues (like a stroke or appendicitis) wouldn’t really get called an “illness” at all, and most of the other terminal diseases you expect to see first diagnosed in people in their 60’s (like early onset Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, ALS, etc.) don’t typically have much of a mortality rate until people reach their 70’s. Plus, cancer seems the most likely to fly under the radar until relatively late, given how many cases have few or no symptoms until after the tumor gets metastasized or inoperable.

            Exceptions exist of course, but cancer seems to make the most sense to me.

              If I had to lay odds, I’d say colon cancer. That sneaks up on a lot of men as they age and is notoriously hard to fight once it spreads. Once it does your 5 year survival rate is 13%. If you catch it while localized or regional, your odds of survival aren’t bad.

      Most likely, there will be some improved access to his older roles like on Kojak. Even back then, he was a standout. Stole a lot of scenes he was in.
