Danny Aiello passed away at 86, last Thursday: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50787461

I know him best from Hudson Hawk, where he played opposite Bruce Willis... I used to watch a VHS copy I recorded off TV a lot when I was a kid. I'm sure I've seen him in other roles as well, but this was the most memorable for me.

I remember him primarily from the Luc Besson film 'Leon'. Sad news indeed.

Kenny Lynch OBE, butt of many jokes on TV but a great singer, in fact his version of "On the Roof" did better than the original !
