Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2012-04-04 08:39:29 PM

As soon as I read the headline, I yelled, "CHANNING TATUM?! NO!"

False alarm.

Ed Finnerty		2012-04-04 08:59:16 PM

I'm sure he'll love being referred to as the 'Nutty Professor' Actor.

Here's a tip from your Uncle Larry: Avoid slippery surfaces when drinking.

farkingismybusiness		2012-04-04 09:07:56 PM

But you see, you think they drop like rocks, they don't. He hit a gargoyle on the way down and this guy gets his head caught in the gargoyle's mouth. The head...(snaps fingers) ...pops off like a grape. The body continues to spin down like a whirl-a-gig. When they hit, everything pops out. It's like a piñata The intestines, like they're spring-loaded, pop out.

ecmoRandomNumbers		2012-04-04 09:08:25 PM

I love that guy. He plays the best a-hole characters.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2012-04-04 09:12:11 PM

Larry Miller -- who's starred in a TON of hit movies including "Nutty Professor" and "10 Things I Hate About You" -- is currently in the ICU at an L.A. hospital after suffering a freak injury to his head.

NewportBarGuy		2012-04-04 09:44:34 PM

On his way back into the bar, Miller lost his footing and fell backwards ... smacking the back of his head on the hard floor.

People at the scene rushed to his aid and called 911. Miller was transported to a nearby hospital ... where he was treated in the E.R. before being transferred to the intensive care unit.

We're told ... doctors have told Miller's family the actor is expected to make a full recovery, but they want to keep him in the ICU for a couple of days for observation.

Possible brain swelling from a large knock to the head. Make sure it goes down, release. Seems like he'll be with us for awhile. Which is cool. We're losing too many "Oh, THAT guy!" actors these days.

Vegan T-Rex		2012-04-05 01:11:02 AM

My thought process upon seeing the headline"
1) A character actor... probably someone from that Vanity Fair spread last month.
2) Larry Miller should have been in that,
3) Don't be Larry Miller.
4) *CLICK* "NOOOO!"

"Remember: If you walked out of bed today, and you had a job to go to and a home to come back to and someone waiting there that cares for you... Folks, the game's over, and you've won... and that's the truest thing I know." - Larry Miller.

Oh, well fark him then. I mean, I was going to wish him well until I knew his politics, but that clears it up for me. I hope he suffers.

I liked him in every bit role he was ever in, but he's conservative IRL, so he's not worth my time. I immediately don't like anything I used to like him in.

Madbassist1		2012-04-05 08:35:50 AM

His couple turns in the original law and order are my favorite episodes of that series. He owns a comedy club and keeps murdering his wives for insurance. He outsmarts the good guys a couple of times, but they get him in the end. I, myself, was rooting for him he made them look like clowns. He was good.

Get well soon, bud.

Really a swell guy.

HST's Dead Carcass		2012-04-05 09:33:58 AM

Aw, he always seemed like a cool dude in any role he played. Kind of an down to earth snarkiness about him.

El Pelon		2012-04-05 09:34:32 AM

Larry is a very funny man. His podcast is not so great though. I consider myself a pretty deep listener of podcasts as most of what I listen to is podcasts (The smartest man in the world is pretty good as well as UYD).

The problem (I assume here) is that one too many had allowed old Lar to fall and hurt himself. We have all been there...

KingKauff		2012-04-05 09:40:56 AM

Was he taunting trees?

The skiing bit is one of the funniest things I've heard

tillerman35		2012-04-05 09:44:43 AM

He might be a great guy in real life, but he's so good at playing annoying characters that I really don't enjoy movies where he has a major role. I would call that success of a sort.

I don't remember the bit verbatim, but I recall, as part of his stand-up routine, he talked about women asking men what they are thinking about.

"You don't want to know what we are thinking. If you knew what we were thinking about, you would never stop slapping us!"

Loved that line.

Always loved that bit and he did one about aging that's equally funny. I've never found a decent copy of it on the net though. The only one I've found looks like he's at a business luncheon and it's not as good as the original.

Mattevil		2012-04-05 11:12:38 AM

I do love the previously mentioned bit about skiing where he describes his friend that goads him into it as "appearing in a puff of smoke".
