He played so many terrific roles. It's difficult to name a favorite but one that really stands out for me is when he was OddBall in "Kelly's Heroes." I especially like how he describes when their tanks fire shells filled with paint.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Aw Donnie,
I was gonna post. In some strange way, it was a relief I was not first, here.
Fare thee well

PS
I was always more interested in directors than actors. Still I precisely remember the first film I noticed him as an actor:
Eye of the Needle (1981)
PPS
I also recall the first moment I noticed Kiefer Surherland. The opening scene of Flatliners (199x)

One of the key features of my graphics library is the ability to create arbitrary pixel formats so you can for example, create a bitmap with any kind of color model and memory footprint you like.
I thought I was a bit crazy, because most IoT devices are 16-bit RGB if not monochrome.
I thought I was overengineering
Then along came color e-ink and all of the sudden even my palette support made sense.
Then I started doing professional displays on embedded outside the IoT realm and many are 24-bit color.
using rgb24 = gfx::rgb_pixel<24>;
And Bob's your uncle
Well then I made an Arduino emulator for the PC, and directx threw me for a bit of a loop because there are 4 channels but one is unused:
template<size_t BitDepth>
using bgrx_pixel = gfx::pixel<
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::B,(BitDepth/4)>,
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::G,((BitDepth/4)+(BitDepth%4))>,
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::R,(BitDepth/4)>,
gfx::channel_traits<gfx::channel_name::nop,(BitDepth/4),0,(1<<(BitDepth/4))-1,(1<<(BitDepth/4))-1>
>;
using screen_t = uix::screen<bgrx_pixel<32>>;
Bam!
I have not redesigned this feature of my library since its inception in like 2021. It keeps just kicking ass.
I do not design with any expectation that what I designed will remain unchanged that far out because it's usually not realistic. I am not that smart. This was all luck.

It's not a coincidence that luck always prefers smart people.

The paradox exists becasue we are part of the problem and believe to be part of the solution...

I thought you didn't do Twatter.
This fact may, or may not, have something to do with the Fermi paradox.

I don't. But I do know deluded fools who do.

I guess that depends on the meaning of "do" 
For example, I do not have an active twitter account. However, tweets find me through other avenues online, even on codeproject, as above. Sometimes I'll share them if they're funny or otherwise amusing. I can't log on to the platform formerly known as X and I have no intention of changing that. Perhaps that's the case with Griff.

Pretty much the same - I don't have a Twatter / Echh account and never have but twaats find their way too me sometimes.

I will lean on the side that all life seeks self survival, and so large collections are difficult to maintained. Selfishness limits a upper limit.

Yeah, they do go hand in hand though. Echo chambers of stupid stoke the flames of greed.
