Kenneth Welsh has passed away at the age of 80. May he rest in peace. Based on what I’m reading in his obituaries, a lot of people remember him as Windom Earle from Twin Peaks. I have never seen that series, as it never really appealed to me.
I knew him as Watson from the Sherlock Holmes movies that starred Matt Frewer. The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire is currently on Tubi, and I recently rewatched it. If you want to view Hallmark’s version in order of release, it was thus: The Hound of the Baskervilles (2000) (not to be confused with the Richard Roxburgh version released elsewhere around the same time). The Sign of the Four (2001). The Royal Scandal (2001) (which I have yet to see). The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire (2002).
Reading through his filmography, I believe that I need to track down The Lizzie Borden Chronicles (2015). And, of course, the aforementioned The Royal Scandal (2001).
Just a couple of minutes after I posted the above, I heard of the following death. George Pérez has passed away, at the age of 67, due to complications from pancreatic cancer. May he rest in peace. I loved his work, and he will be deeply missed.
Via a posting to his Facebook page, which was quoted on Bleeding Cool: "George's memorial service will take place at MEGACON Orlando at 6pm on Sunday, May 22nd. It will be open to all."
