RIP.

:( rip.
shareRIP, Sir Holm. I loved you in Alien and The Fifth Element.
shareso sad when one of the great ones passes on he was brilliant in everything he did
shareIncredible, they're dying in the same order than in Alien (John Hurt, Harry Dead Stanton and now Ian Holm!) Who's next?
RIP. :-(
No, Ash "died" or was destroyed perhaps might be the better word, since has a robot, after Dallas (Tom Skerrit).
shareOh. Ok, I remembered incorrectly...
shareActually if you watch the director's cut Dallas was still alive after he was 'taken' by the alien. So pjj69 is somewhat correct in his strange observation. If it follows this pattern the actor who played Parker better watch out.
But anyway, shame about Ian Holm; he was one of my favorites; but at least he had a long a fulfilling life. may he now RIP.
interesting..
shareThat's true, in the director's cut. I wasn't even thinking of that one. I don't think that version is official, it's just an alternate version according to Scott, but it's true that we never see Dallas die in the original release either.
You got me there!
I genuinely suspect Sigourney Weaver will be the last of the 'Alien' cast to pass away!
shareThat's a very unfortunate typo there, pjl69.
Death is just another path.
shareVery sad news; a very great loss.
