Actor Mako has died

[Hondo]

This month we lost Red Buttons, Jack Warden and now Mako, the Asian actor has has died at age 72, His portrayal earned an Academy Award nomination for The Sand Pebbles. The film starting Steve McQueen has always been a favorite along so many others. Also Pearl Harbor, and many more, I met Mako the past few years during my visits to collectors shows, (this is rather tough, sad to see, as you'll see so many forgotten stars from yesterdays era) Mako was really a nice friendly gentleman, with many admirers, he will be greatly missed, R.I.P.

Thanks for the post, Hondo. It seems that we are going to loose an entire generation of actors.

Since we already have a thread started on this in the News Forum, I am going to shut this one with a reference to the other thread:
