Resisting MIME jokes due to the impact this guy had on silent expression. Really.

 

[Fender32]

Shouldn't "rip" be capitalised to. "R.I.P."?

Otherwise, there's a danger of people coming here to criticise him, or attempt to download him !

I propose a minutes' silence ......



God rest his soul.

Probably not very well known in the us

Why would you say that? He is world famous.

A genius. R.I.P.

Man, that is sad... I saw him live, 4 times... Amazing...

 

[BassManPatsFan]

Wow, that's really sad. I saw him live once in Boston a couple years ago--it was awesome.

 

[JacoLesFlea]

I saw him live back in 1986. HE was amazing. He told so much without ever opening his mouth. RIP Marcel..

Honestly, I didn't even know he was still alive. Saw a fair amount of his stuff back in art school- a real master in his craft.

 

[Lost Drummer]

I have no idea who this guy is... but the loss of just about any human life is worth mourning.

R.I.P

 

[mlowe]

He was amazing. Didn't even need furniture.

Not unknown in these parts.

 

[Phalex]

I just can't get the image of him doing the "Mime stuck in a box" routine for eternity out of my head.

Does that make me a bad person??

 

[driver800]

Should we honor him by observing a moment of noise?

 

[WillPlay4Food]

He was the only person to have a spoken line in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie".

 

[kobass]

RIP, Marcel.

 

[Yvon]

He was the only person to have a spoken line in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie".

True
and his line was...


NON!

 

[stedtale]

So, he finally got out of that box. Too bad he couldn't breath our air.

 

[bmc]

He was the only person to have a spoken line in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie".

I wonder what his last words were?

 

[Fender32]

So, he finally got out of that box. Too bad he couldn't breath our air.

As an entertainer, I think he would have approved of that remark .

As for me .....

Classic stedtale !

I'm gonna need a lot of happy to get over all of the sad.
