RIP Martin Mull.

Martin Mull, Christopher Makepeace, Ruth Gordon
in My Bodyguard.

I didn't want his memory to get lost in the shuffle of recent deaths; he passed around the time of Bill Cobbs.  For Bill Cobbs, I recommended Sunshine State if you haven't seen it -- my personal favorite role of his (I really like that film...)

For Martin Mull, try My Bodyguard, again if you have not yet seen this off-film, you are in for a treat! Another personal favorite memory (and it holds up! like... Breaking Away, if you still like that one.)

Note: this is not the Whitney Houston rest her soul film, but one with Chris Makepeace in the theaters in summer 1980: (some scenes shot at Chicago's Lake View High School...not a John Hughes film)
