Damn, man. A year younger than me. Something you can do almost nothing to prevent. Nothing scarier than a stroke.

Any of us could go any time from one of these.

(In fact I kinda suspect I one might already have)

Holy crap... 90210 was a big part of my childhood, and the idea that members of the cast are dying... holy crap...

At first I was thinking "Matthew Perry" but that's because I've been around more Friends than 90210.
Nothing scarier than a stroke.
I can think of quite a few things *I* would find scarier, but yeah it ranks up there.

Man, 90210 was a MONSTER hit amongst my friends and I, and appointment TV for at least the first 3 seasons. (I'm sure part of that was our parents telling us we were too young to watch it, and yet we did it anyway.) I don't think I made it past Season 4 (soap/dramas aren't my thing), but Luke Perry/Dylan McKay will be forever etched in my brain.

Sad also because his career seemed to be steady again with Riverdale. I feel so bad for his kids.

Ah yes. "Pert. Wholesome. Way Lethal."

Scary that he's roughly my age.

Somewhere the Paul Reubens death scene is *still* going...

Best part of the movie.

The wrestling community is mourning him as well. He was a huge fan making a few appearances in the ring along the way and taking on the role of supportive father who didn't use his fame as his son grows in the ranks of professional wrestling.
