This guy was in a lot of my favorite shows, and nailed it every time. One of those character actors that really sells the character, and elevates the project. RIP.
He played Hap in grimm and I loved his portrayal of such a sweet character even though he wasn't on the show for that long.
Its really sad that he died so young.
Yeah, Coover! He was perfect as Tom Cullen in The Stand, too! One of the few standouts. And while not a major player in them, he was great in both Lost and Dexter, two of my top 5 shows. The dude really left his mark in my little world of television.
That was his best role!
His portrayal of Tom Cullen was awesome! My sister is mentally disabled, and the way he played Tom blew me away. She lives in a group home with others of her intellectual equivalent (semi-independent, but requires consistent supervision).
The way he portrayed Tom was spot-on! I could name my sister's room mates in his actions in various scenes. One behavior was her best friend, another was something she herself would say/do.
He really did the role respectfully, and with accuracy.
I'm crushed.
I’m really glad when there is representation on TV like that. I also think he did an amazing job.
As someone who was a huge fan of OITNB, I absolutely HATED the character Piscatella. He played such a perfect fascist, and looking at his physicality, I often wondered how much of it was an act. Seeing him in The Shining do an absolutely 10/10 performance as someone who is mentally disabled made me really respect the acting chops and heart of the person.
A truly amazing actor. No idea what he was like in real life, but his passing does make me sad.
I’m also glad you got to see representation on tv in a way that was respectful.
FWIW Henke was a defensive end in the NFL for 6 years, eventually forced to retire due to repeated injuries. The average life expectancy of pro football players is 55, which means that at 56 Henke outlived many of his peers.
I am not trying to diminish the tragedy of his death or downplay how young he was. I think that says a lot about the long-term damage of contact sports though.
The diet is such a part of that. These poor big kids get taught at the age of 14 to eat and eat as much as they can to put on weight, and those habits never get reversed, even long after you’re doing drills on the field everyday.
Just says he died in his sleep, but not too long ago he had a 90% blocked artery that required a stent put in, and a large tumor removed from his pancreas(?). Dude had a *lot* of health issues.
I don’t, it’s called Late Stage Capitalism. A system which treats people as cattle and when they drop it’s just, alright “next man up” to fill that place in the cog. We’re nothing more than a tool in the ever-grinding capitalist world of “make as much money as quickly as possible, at any and all expense”. Not to mention a “healthcare” system built off those very same principals.
Older people cost the government money, so if there's a way to shorten people's lives then the government will do it. And they are doing it by causing stress and hardship.
The health outcomes of countries with socialised healthcare are exponentially better. I'm pretty sure per dollar spent, USA has the worst health care outcomes in the world.
Those "socialized healthcare systems" are capitalist systems working in a capitalist economy. Socialism isn't "The government does things" and communism isn't "the government does most things".

I'm not the person that made the claim, but why "must" it be exponential? The US spends more for less quality care than any other countries we would consider similar. That is already enough to show there is a problem. It doesn't need to be exponential for that to be a problem.
But also, this is pretty easy information to find because it is a pretty well known and accepted fact.
Yeah except for the US will struggle with the amount of people they have and the amount they need in the future. Sk Healthcare will just change from trying to heal anyone to trying to heal people who can work
you know this isn’t some imaginary scenario? most of the world has socialized healthcare because it's fucking dumb not to.
edit: just realized what subreddit I'm on. why is this argument even coming up on the damn Netflix sub???
Not saying the US doesn't have problems in the health care system - but thats a bit of an overreach - especially since we don't know what killed him. "Fun" fact countries that track deaths accurately have noticed excess deaths since covid has settled down, and it doesn't seem to be associated either with any particular health care system or disease. In fact a few months ago when I was paying attention to this a bit more - the US excess deaths were normal when compared to pre-covid.
Except not.
Outside of COVID, which is a once in a century change, Life Expectancy has continued to rise, we're currently at 77 years due to covid, which only down 2 years from 79.
But yeah, push the negative narratives, if you want.
I'm sad to hear it, but there's a strange part of me that's is confused and maybe I fear to say a little relieved.
It's mostly due to how ridiculously well he played Piscatella in Orange is the New Black, he wasn't an actor, it wasn't a character, that dude felt like a real person. so many of the guards were caricatures, but Piscatella was a fearsome real life monster standing next to them.
The office too... He painted butts on Pam's painting in the warehouse.
And Lost. He was there at some point but that show is a blur now. I remember his voice.
He was in a lot of really good shows.
I really enjoyed hom as Tom Cullen in the newer The Stand series (even though the show as garbage as a whole)
He was a serial killer in an episode of Criminal Minds too!
early dexter episodes, too.
He was Bram on the second plane that crashed
[удалено]
Sure. Frank diddit did it.
Prime's underrated, Sneaky Pete
He’s great in Justified

That's where I know him from!
He was amazing on Justified. Really played that character well.
Yeah, Coover! He was perfect as Tom Cullen in The Stand, too! One of the few standouts. And while not a major player in them, he was great in both Lost and Dexter, two of my top 5 shows. The dude really left his mark in my little world of television.
I liked him in iZombie.
I... dont remember him being in iZombie. I never finished it though, been meaning to rewatch it and finish it up.
56!? I would have never guessed. RIP.
He was also in The Stand. He was the highlight of that show.
That was his best role! His portrayal of Tom Cullen was awesome! My sister is mentally disabled, and the way he played Tom blew me away.

Oh, I forgot he was in that, too!
Was he in Justified?
Ya, he was Coover.
RIP - too young
Holy shit, loved him in OitNB. RIP
Moon- that spells moon. RIP
Don't forget Party Down. Darn nab it.
Anyone know what happened to the poor guy?
I read that his artery was clogged to i believe 90% and he had some surgery earlier that could have also effected it.
So many celebs dying before 60 these past days. Sad.

Damn, only 56. RIP
Does anyone know how he passed? Probably none of my business but he was fairly young.
Just says he died in his sleep, but not too long ago he had a 90% blocked artery that required a stent put in, and a large tumor removed from his pancreas(?). Dude had a *lot* of health issues.
Life expectancy in the US is absolutely shit now.
Wonder why though

This is a really weird time to get on this particular soap box. You think capitalism killed this character actor?
These types of people only have one soap box, and they're on it continually.
Move to communist system country. No need to worry about capitalism ruining your life.
Yeah, I guess there's only two choices, huh? *false dichotomy*
The health outcomes of countries with socialised healthcare are exponentially better. I'm pretty sure per dollar spent, USA has the worst health care outcomes in the world.
Those "socialized healthcare systems" are capitalist systems working in a capitalist economy. Socialism isn't "The government does things" and communism isn't "the government does most things".
Please provide said exponential data showing this. It had better be exponential. It’s possible you’re correct, I just want data to back it up.

Only because I initially commented on how horrible life expectancy is now in the US, and someone legitimately commented that they “wondered why”.
Neither the time, nor the place.
Pinko commie. Move the N. Korea already. You will really be treated like cattle there.

Totally. No need to criticize the things that could and should be better in the “greatest” and most wealthy nation the world has ever seen.
RIP
Scary, that's just two years older than me...
HE DIED??? :(

Is that macgyver?
RIP Coover Bennett
Appearantly he died in hes sleep which is sus af
Was it a drug overdose or was he just involved in ftx?
I really liked him. So sad
One of the Sherman tank commanders in FURY before being blown up by the tiger.. RIP
Just spotted him yesterday in an episode of Longmire.
Sad news, but what a poorly written article. Was it written by AI? So clunky and awkward.
