137. He's still a cutie. There's nothing wrong with a man marrying someone older, men do it all the time. It's obvious they married for love because they are still together. To their credit, their marriage has out lasted everyone elses. You guys make it seem like getting older is a disease...get over it!

139. The accidental death you are thinking of was John Erik Hexum, though Brandon Lee also died the same way. Hexum was famous for being the boyfriend of Jennifer O'Neil.

145. The show from the late 80's was called "Cover Up" when the leading man (forgot his name) killed himself accidentally with a blank gun.

146. He is still mighty fine without the hair and it's wonderful to see someone not making an ass of themselves trying to look 20 years younger than they are for a change!

147. Jon Erik Hexum-killed himself firing a blank into his temple-blanks are simply wads of compressed paper shot out with the force coming from the gunpowder in the wad

148. He still looks the same in the face - maybe a few more lines, but still really handsome. I do wish he'd check into a new "do", but... I had a boss once who had a bald top and fringe around the rest of his head, and he told me, "You know what this is?" pointing to his bald head. I said, "No, what IS that?" He said, "It's a solar panel for a sex machine!" :)
I think this guy is still gorgeous!! Time has been very kind.

150. Cricket i think this is the guy you were thinking.
Jon-Eric Hexum
However, on October 12th, 1984 after a long and draining day's shooting on the set of Cover Up (1984) (TV), Hexum became bored with the extensive delays and jokingly put a prop .44 magnum revolver to his temple and pulled the trigger. The gun fired, and the wadding from the blank cartridge shattered his skull, whereupon the mortally injured Hexum was rushed via ambulance to hospital to undergo extensive surgery. Despite five hours of work, the chief surgeon Dr David Ditsworth, described the damage to Hexum's brain as life ending, and one week later on October 18th, he was taken off life support and pronounced dead. However, Hexum's commitment to organ donation, meant five other lives were assisted or saved with organs harvested from him. The youthful & charming Hexum was dead at only 26 years of age.
