RIP to a great actor.

As for the morbid "They're dying in sequence!" thing, Bolaji Bodejo did a combo breaker on that years ago.

As did Helen Horton and Eddie Powell.

This is sad news, but at 91 and with hundreds of films under his belt, he had quite an innings. He's certainly left us with a legacy of some iconic movies.

Ian Holm is next, it goes Kane->Brett->Ash->Parker->Lambert->Dallas->Ripley.

Which makes sense irl because Ian Holm is the oldest living cast member.  Not sure how the others are holding up though!

Don't mean to sound so morbid, I hope no one dies!

Here is the trailer for his upcoming film "Lucky."

It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up winning an Oscar posthumously for this role. Nice to see (for ALIEN fans) him sharing scenes with Tom Skerritt one last time.

That looks like such a charming film to me. I really hope that sees release on my side of the pond. Looks like it'll be one of those low-key kind of films.

He was the realest guy in every movie he was in.  More than anyone else, I believed he was a space trucker and personified the crew of the Nostromo.

He had a great career and a long life, farewell dude.

Brett let go of the cat, so it was his fault that they might pick the cat up on the tracker again.  And he volunteered anyway.

He is the reason that Parker's death was so appealing to me.  Ever since Parker told him to go get Jones, I loathed Parker for taking advantage of Brett's good nature.  Sure, there was some redemption when Parker rescued Ripley from Ash but Brett was, by far, my favorite character and so I never completely forgave Parker.

RIP Harry. 

"You still with us, Brett?" will take on a whole new meaning next time I see you in Alien.

I've spotted him throughout films over the years but other than Alien I don't recall seeing any of his other great performances. Brett was always a favourite of mine because of Stanton's dead pan performance. I've even occasionally caught myself using his trademark "Riiight" during conversations.

Spent some of today reading more about him to get a better picture of him. Hopefully the black void is everything he wanted it to be.

Thanks for an incredible performance in my favourite film, Mr. Stanton. I'll be sure to check out your other work.
