https://shawglobalnews.files.wordpre...0&h=480&crop=1
He had roles in dozens of TV shows including Sidestreet, Danger Bay and Battlestar Galactica.
The Winnipeg-born actor received numerous accolades, including a Gemini award for the role of Det. Leo Shannon in the drama Da Vinci’s Inquest in 2002, and a Gemini Earle Grey Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2006.
Rhodes, who joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as an airman-mechanic before settling into his career as an actor, was arguably most well-known in the U.S. for his role as the dim-witted escaped con Dutch in the ABC soap opera spoof Soap.
He made his professional debut on stage at Stratford Theatre as Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar Named Desire before he became a contract player for Universal Pictures in the U.S., where he landed television roles on Bonanza, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E., Cheers, Golden Girls and The Young and the Restless.
Rhodes is survived by his wife, Sarah, his daughter and his son.

R.I.P. Mort Walker, creator of Hi & Lois and Beetle Bailey
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media...pfsewighuz.jpg
The creator of the low-key military comic strip Beetle Bailey—and its long-running spin-off, Hi & Lois, which he worked on with artist Dik Browne—Walker was 94.
Until his death, earlier today, Walker held a singular distinction in the world of comic art: Assisted by two of his sons, Greg and Brian Walker, Mort was the longest-serving original creator of a comic strip still being published. For 68 years straight, he worked in the world of Beetle Bailey, capturing the day-in, day-out troubles of Camp Swampy and its seemingly endless series of bloodless military exercises, brawls, and endless complaints about army food.

I am a big fan of Don Lemon on CNN and just heard that he lost his older sister to an accidental drowning on Wednesday.
So sad for him and the family.
