Sad news for fantasy fans as Willow on Disney +PLUS is cancelled before its second season. Maybe some other channel might pick it up, but it's done at Disney.

Tom Sizemore: Saving Private Ryan actor dies at 61 after brain aneurysm https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64721187

Tom Sizemore was a charismatic actor, but his battles with addictions are well-documented, which meant he perhaps didn't achieve what he might have done. He was excellent in The Relic, now considered a poor 90s horror movie, and that moment in Saving Private Ryan, where he hurls his helmet at a German soldier, is one of those badass moments from Cinema I'll never forget.

Ricou Browning, better known as The Creature From The Black Lagoon.
