R.I.P. Meat Loaf

[Prime Clone]

Haven't seen a thread for this yet, and since he was an actor I felt it qualified for this section.

His name was Robert Paulson... and Marvin/Michael Lee Aday!

Being anti-everything and dying of covid? I'm sorry he's gone but he didn't exactly give himself the best chance. I always liked his cameo in Pick of Destiny.

did he the one who sing "I'd Do Anything For Love"?

Never cared for his music, but he had an impact on me due to Rocky Horror, Fight Club, and this wacky advertisement I used to see in comics all the time as a kid. At the time, I had no idea who he was, but it stuck with me.

Rest in piece.

I love Meat Loaf's music, he was a true entertainer. Enjoyed him in Fight Club too, did he act in any other films of note?

I would say his most iconic role is in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's a musical, and he sings. Not my favorite kind of movie, but hard to deny his talent there.

He died like Robert Paulson…..
