Miss seeing Brion on the screen, I know if he were alive today, he would have been in many many more films by now! I too was unaware of his passing and just learned about it a few years ago. He came from an area where I grew up and I know several who went to high school with him. You are very missed!!

Yeah, I miss him too. He was in some of the most memorable movies of the 80s. I remember that the first time I saw Brion was in The Horror Show movie, he scared the hell out of me when he was executed in the electric chair. Interestingly enough that's his favorite movie! Lol. I used to follow his career closely in the late 90s, and not long before his untimely passing he gave great interview to some magazine saying that he was full of ambition to continue driving his acting career as far possible as he can, he was admiring Gene Hackman's ability to get great roles at his age, and that's what he wanted to do as well. Alas, he passed away. Rutger Hauer, his costar of four movies they've been in together made a comment of his passing, apparently they were friends in real life too. I only don't remember what he said, I think he quoted something from Blade Runner movie.
