RIP: Patrick Swayze (1952-2009)


The obituaries continue in 2009. Patrick Swayze died yesterday after a long and courageous fight with cancer. He was unique because he had the natural ability to portray characters that had tough exteriors and gentle souls.

Bodhi from the movie Point break is one the more likeable bad guys in cinema history and both he and Keanu Reeves made that film the cult classic that it is. From The Outsiders to Road House. From Uncommon Valor to Ghost, Patrick Swayze more than proved he had the chops and the range as an actor. In Dirty Dancing he proved he was a complete performer.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace to a true class act.
