Paul Clipson was our beloved colleague and today was a truly surreal and horrible workday. Everyone is gutted.

Even when I was a kid, I found Mahoney to be the most compelling of the three principal's in Say Anything. RIP.

John Mahoney was between 52 and 63 when he was in 'Frasier'
Is this another one of those 'too young to play his dad' things?

He was less than 15 years older than Kelsey Grammer.
Mahoney's character in THoBL was the world's worst songwriter, his wife (Kurtz) mentally ill, and his son planning to assassinate Pope Paul. So it was a "new theatre" black comedy, especially when the first production flopped in 1971.

damn, Reg E. Cathey at age 59 per David Simon's twitter. He'll always be first and foremost one of the hosts of PBS's Square One TV to me, but had a great run in the 2000s between Pootie Tang, the Wire, House of Cards, Neon Joe Werewolf Hunter, etc.
