Wow, I just saw the news. RIP Roderick George Toombs, aka Roddy Piper.
I was never a big wrestling fan, but They Live is one of those movies that will forever be appreciated by me as genius. His bouts and antics were classic, and as a boy from Saskatoon, I think he really enjoyed his career and what he did, which is why he had so many fans still. I think it really came across he enjoyed his character and was never resentful of his fame, which is not the same for a lot of others - he just had fun. A sad loss to many. Condolences to his family and friends.
Gone too soon. He will be missed.
