A familiar face to those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's. We was in a everything from Enter the Dragon to Nightmare on Elm Street.
A prolific character actor with a resume significant in pop culture.

His name didn't ring a bell at first, but as I started to go through his IMDB page, over and over I was like, "oh wow, that guy!" Black Christmas, Cannibal Apocalypse, Tenebrae - Mr. Saxon got around and worked with many, many greats.
RIP to a wonderful character actor. _________________ Under New Management

It's the entertainment industry. They pass in 3's. The other shoe has dropped. Regis Philbin, Peter Green, John Saxon. RIP _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

RIP. This scene with John Saxon (along with Bruce Lee, and Bolo Yeung) from Enter the Dragon comes to mind.
Saxon was the last living member of the primary actors in that movie. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Damn. I didn't catch a lot of his work, but I always felt he had a dope style and presence. He took down Big Bad Bolo in Enter the Dragon.
RIP
I crack up every time I see that. Bolo was in real agony from a groin kick. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
