Unofficial Tex Murphy

Actor and American Indian activist Russell Means died of cancer today at the age of 72. Tex Murphy fans perhaps know him best as villainous shapeshifter 'The Chameleon' in Under a Killing Moon, and we extend our condolences to his family and friends.

Thanks for posting this James. Indeed, it is sad news. Condolences to his family & friends.

That's grim tidings. I'm sad to learn of his passing. May he rest in peace.

Best wishes to his family and loved ones in recovering from the tragic loss.

I just heard the news about Russell Means and wanted to express my condolences.

I'll always remember in Tex lore as The Chameleon... a worthy adversary for our Fedora-clad detective.

So sad.

A real shame.

But what a contribution he gave us.

So Sad... I had always hoped for a Chameleon Return in a future game...

Such a great political leader for the Indian nation as well...

Truly A Big Loss...

saw this after big finish posted on face book, sad news

Death Be Not Proud


by John Donne

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

I just heard about it on here....

Sad....

Chameleon in character and chameleon in real life; he's ascended and evolved to a higher being in a much safer place. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Russel Means! Great actor and he still look the same as he did in Under Killing Moon back in 1994.

Great poem by John Donne. I read about him at school. Some amazing things, and I'm sure his words apply to Russell - he has earned his place up there.
