29 faces face #8 Roger Rees


Face #8 is Roger Rees, who passed away from brain cancer, July, 10th, 2015.
He was a well known British actor that started his acting career in the theater before moving onto television and movies. 

He stood out in two rolls for me- as Robin Colcord in Cheers and as Sheriff of Rottingham in Robin hood; men in tights.

29 faces face #6 Alex Rocco

Face #6 is  Alex Rocco, who passed away July, 18, 2015 from pancreatic cancer.

I knew him from his performance in 'The Godfather' but when I did my research I found out he liked to appear on TV  more than movies and that he was actually a gang member in Boston  when he was younger. His birth name is Alessandro Federico Petricone, Jr.  but after the Boston Irish Gang War started in the 60's he left Boston and changed his name. 

Pretty interesting fellow...

According to IMDB she acted in 47 different movies and TV shows and while I remember her in other things, she will away be the mom in  The Goonies for me.





Please Ignore the giant black spot in her hair... I don't know what I was thinking.
