Noticed that myself. He’s been in a lot of stuff that has gone under the radar and not even appeared at the cinema.He’s been doing a ton of films recently and they’ve all been straight to dvd/streaming affairs. Obviously just getting as much work in as he could whilst still capable. Sounds like an awful disease, so sad.
They’ve been awful in all honesty, way below the grade of something he’d normally do, and he was basically sitting down in them. Must have just wanted to pocket as much cash whilst he still could. I’d imagine his care bills will be huge going forward and he’ll want to leave a good amount for his family.Noticed that myself.

Aphasia's not really a disease, it's a symptom. It's usually caused by something else pretty concrete. I have a family member who has it (getting better over time) after a serious automotive accident and head injury.![]()

The Sixth Sense.He's been feathering the nest for the family while he still can with all this DTV dreck, which is fair enough.
Absolute legend, if only for Die Hard 1-3 alone.

Fortunately not total in this case, but it's really hard to see someone just struggle to translate thoughts to external words when their mind is otherwise working fine.Christ. Glad to hear they’re getting better.
Started working with a lady recently who had that, her daughter had initially thought it was the type of aphasia that improves. Wasn’t an easy conversation to have.Its a symptom that is often linked to dementia sadly though its usually not the prominent symptom
There is a form of dementia where it is the primary symptom at presentation
Primary Progressive Aphasia
Poor bugger he has made some films that I would never tire of watching - he also seems to have been able to get through his divorce and have a great relationship with his ex to enable him to be a great dad
