My last two posts, Making Movie Magic #1 & 2, have been taken down temporarily. (They will be reposted when the time is right).
One of the three main actors in that movie, Tom Murphy, died the day before I wrote the first instalment. I didn’t know. Sorry, Tom. I really didn’t know.
He was one of the nicest, friendliest, down to earth guys on the set and a pleasure to watch act. The character and actor merged until you couldn’t see the joins.*
For those who haven’t viewed his best work, see Adam & Paul. Rent it if you must, buy it if you can – it is worth keeping.

I’ll be back when the time is right, I enjoyed the story.
I am sorry to hear that Primal. I will also be looking forward to the remaining part of the story, when you feel it is appropriate. I also thought it was a great story. And it was well written and nice, in a tribute sort of way eventhough you didn’t know that he passed away. Maybe some sort of psychic connection on a sub-conscious level brought the memories out, to the conscious level. (Don’t laugh, I sorta believe that kind of paranormal connection and power is possible).
That is very sad. I too look forward to reading the next posts on movie magic.
How incredibly strange – I ordered Adam and Paul last night on the internet – a total coincidence… very weird
i’d assumed you knew, Primal, and that was why you’d posted em. i thought they were a quiet, funny and fitting tribute.
So sad to hear, Primal. Gimme also has a nice tribute to working with Tom.
Grannymar – It just seemed strange that I was writing the first part the day died and published it the following day not knowing. I had intended mentioning him but opted for Sean McGinley instead. Funny that.
Gayé – You wouldn’t have freaked me out, but then I read Conorín’s comment. Weird.
Mary – They are going back up now. Even folks like me, who don’t suffer from religion, need to show respect in some way. A minute’s silence in blogland is removing a post for a day or so.
Rosie – Nope. Hadn’t a clue.
Medbh – Coming from Gimmie, that was a great tribute.
God, he was only 36. That’s so sad.
