I know Die Hard is a 34-year old movie, but it makes me sad watching it these days seeing all the actors in it who've passed away.

 

I mostly remember Clarence Gilyard for his role in Walker, Texas Ranger.  That show ran for quite some time - 1993-2001.

Wasn't really a fan of that show. I remember him from Die Hard mostly and his famous "The quarterback is toast" line.

So I assumed this was about Officer Al Powell, who I loved in Die Hard.

Nope!  Wrong guy.  

 

He's still alive and ticking at age 70.

 

RIP Clarence.

He was also in the Die Hard battery commercial

Without looking it up, was he the tech guy?  All I know is that this serves as my annual reminder to watch the movie this month.

Yeah that was him.  I saw his photo and remembered him as either working a laptop or possibly the laser that cut into the vault--or maybe both.  Sort of the nerdy guy who was doing technical stuff.
