It's confirmed and major newspaper websites are going with the story. One of the great character actors of our time, and gone way too damn soon. He had so much left to do. Rest in peace.
Very sad news. He was a trailblazer for the leading men in this golden age for American television drama. Rest his soul
Very sad news. Also a sobering reminder of how common heart disease is; it can hit any of us, at any time.

Such a sudden and unexpected loss. I don't think I recall ever hearing about health troubles with him. A talent that will be missed. R.I.P. James
