Patrick Swayze, RIP

Actor Patrick Swayze died yesterday of pancreatic cancer, which from what I hear is one of the worst, most painful cancers one can get. He was 57 years old. Swayze became a star after appearing in the eighties chick flicks Ghost and Dirty Dancing but I'll always remember him for his work in the eighties kick-ass flicks Road House and Point Break, both of which I've seen probably a hundred times each.

To lighten the mood, here's part of a classic SNL sketch that he and Chris Farley did together years ago:



Who would have guessed when this was made that they'd both be gone this soon? Sad.
