Still young at 46. Very sad news
So sad, indeed. He was so talented.
Still young at 46. Very sad news
1. I am sad, I really enjoyed his work
2. Its a reminder not to get too cocky*, just read that he had been clean for over 20 years or more, then this happened
&
on a very unimportant note, I just saw him in "The Hunger Games 2" as Plutarch Heavensbee, in which his part was small, but done very well, of course
just wondering now what they are going to do about it for the next films
though it matters little, just to trying to take my mind of his untimely demise
*=as some of us are want to to do after being clean for years

Richard Bull (1924-2014)
Underrated actor who played Nels Oleson for all nine seasons on "Little House on the Prairie" (1974-1983). He also played a doctor on 27 different episodes of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (1964-1968). He was wonderful on "Little House...," playing the owner of the town store in small Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Rest In Peace.
Little House on the Prairie is one of my favourite US TV shows.
I was sorry for Mr Nelson who had to put up with his self-righteous wife.
RIP.

It's one of my favorite TV shows too. It's definitely one of my Top 10 of all-time, and possibly in the Top 5. I felt sorry for him too. His wife Harriet was a self-righteous busybody. The actress who played Harriet did a fantastic job though, as did the majority of the cast.
Richard Bull and his wife Collentine left their home in Chicago in September, 2012 to move to the Motion Picture & Television Fund Home in California. Another resident there is Scottie MacGregor, who portrayed Harriet Oleson. After Richard Bull's death, Collentine and Scottie MacGregor had dinner together and agreed, "they had both lost a wonderful husband." The source of this information is from actor Dean Butler, who played Almanzo Wilder on the show. (the source of this paragraph is The Associated Press.)
I was a big Little House fan too. Thought you guys might appreciate something I saw the other day, Seth McFarlane acknowledged it with an intro to Family Guy a few seasons ago. He tends to do that to shows he likes so it's a weird honor. It starts at 2:11. If you want to watch them all it goes Monty Python/Incredible Hulk/Little House/Modern Family/King of the Hill.

They are just repeating the series here in the UK.
Totally agree he was underrated as the long-suffering husband and storekeeper.
In the same vain:
Ralph Waite died on 13th, February, 2014 aged 85.
Another long standing American actor in a long running show: The Waltons.
He was highly viewed by all his colleagues as John Walton Sr.
Similarly, Emmy nominee and subsequent Emmy winner.

Alain Resnais (1922 - 2014)
I'm totally devastated to hear the sad news.
Resnais was one of the greatest French filmmakers, I was extremely lucky to attend his Q&A session in September 1994.
RIP.
