Actor Sonny Landham passed away at the age of 76. He starred among Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Richard Chaves, Shane Black and Jesse Ventura in the movie Predator as Billy, the group's tracker. He also starred opposite of Sylvester Stallone in the movie Lock Up as prison bully.

Apparently later in life Sonny lost both legs in a car accident and was a homeless since 2016.

I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

Yes indeed. Though I've heard that on the other hand Sonny was a real troublesmaker. Always the first to start a fight. Apparently during the making of Predator they hired a bodyguard to protect the other actors and crew members from Sonny. I'm talking about Arnold here, Kevin Peter Hall (a 7 foot 2 inches tall guy) and Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura and Bill Duke, all sorts of muscular guys that can pack a punch and they needed protecting?

Though you don't wish anybody what he has been through: losing both legs and your home. So you're right: make most of today.
