FabSwingers.com forum: Which actors do you wish were still alive and making films

By (user no longer on site) OP

So going off the back of another thread, many great actors have been taken away from us either in tragic circumstances or natural causes etc etc.

Which actors do you wish you could still see on the screen in new films? Obviously the old ones are still around.

Someone mentioned Alan Rickman an absolutely fantastic actor who has left a lasting legacy. Also although she only had a few films I liked Brittany Murphy. I’m sure there are loads more like Marlon Brando and the like. Which do you miss on the screen?

James Gandolfini last film “The Drop” with Tom Hardy was fantastic.

Saddest loss has got to be Robin Williams though because of how much Joy he brought to people, it sad he left our world the way he did.
