I hadn't thought of Terrence Stamp in forever.

I liked Carradine in Wild West Tech.

Auto eroticism more than likely.

He was found "naked" in the closet.

Not an uncommon accidental "hanging" death unfortunately. You need a wingman if you are gonna play that way.

Bangkok Post says asphyixiation, self-induced, but auto erotic sex, not suicide.

Two Legendary Warriors gone...

Kien Shih also passed away. Most famous with Western audiences for portrying Han in Enter The Dragon...his mirror fight with Bruce Lee was awesome!

Kung Fu Flick fans may also know that he was in Once Upon a Time In China (and a number of other earlier Wong fei Hung movies) and Drunken Master.

He will love forever more in my heart for the scene with Jim Kelly in E the D...it is my favourite line delivery of all time....

"Bull***t Mr Han, Man!"

Do you know that it was the late and great Bruce Lee that was supposedly a contender for the role in Kung Fu TV show? But he was too 'Chinese' for the target audience.

I don't think I've ever heard of him, but RIP. I know he'll be missed.

He stole the show in Kill Bill, and I am not even a fan of his work. In that movie, however, he was phenomenal.

Whoa, ha, he said: here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip, now we're into a brand knew trip
