Karl Hardman passes away...

Very sad news... Karl Hardman passed away over the weekend. I'm sure all fans will fondly remember Karl's portrayal of 'Harry Cooper' in 'Night of the Living Dead' - Who in the end of course was right about it being safer in the cellar!

Karl was kind enough to provide the first interview to this site almost ten years ago!

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Well this is a horrible thing to hear on a Sunday morning. Er, afternoon.

He will be missed. He played "the asshole" in a film to a T.

That he did but he was right about getting into that cellar. I know my @$$ would have been down there with him in a heart beat. After tying his little girl down to a the board she was laying on.
