RIP Ray Stevenson

Irish actor known best as Volstagg, one of Thor's running buddies in the MCU, but also was in many franchise pics, including the Punisher in the "Warzone" movie, and appearing in "King Arthur," and will be in the upcoming Star Wars series "Ahsoka."

One of my favorite roles of his was in the movie "Kill The Irishman," where he played the mobbed-up union boss Danny Green.

Man, 58 is too soon. He died in Italy and no cause of death was given, but I thought I saw a couple of headlines that said his death was accidental.

Wow, very sad. He was a cool actor. First thing I saw him in was the Clive Owen King Arthur. RIP.

This one sucks.
I loved him as Titus Pullo in Rome and Blackbeard in Black Sails.

RIP

Damn. This sucks. He had a great screen presence. I was looking forward to seeing him play a villain in Ahsoka. I guess I still am.
