"Gregory Hines died. He's the black guy who looks like the white guy who said 'get off my train!' in Ghost."

Vincent .S. always plays these "obscure" side parts in movies and hardly anyone I know remembers him by name (if they even remembered the poor guy)! Every time I see Vincent he plays the part of a crazy patalogist, nutty doctor, or crazy patient, etc. Gregory Hines had "one up" over him, Hines at least played a couple of movies as the main character.

Anti-Xocial Poor guy, all these movies and yet still he didn't quite make it all the way there. He always did a great job acting but seemed to be missing that "thing" that makes you a "super celeb"
RIP

This actually makes me cry. I saw him in the movie Tap many years ago and was just amazed. In high school I busted my ass to get a summer scholarship to study dance with him. One of the best summers of my life.

Protoclown If it were a "cure", then it would ALWAYS work.

There are many treatments for cancer. There is no cure.

El Blanco Not much of a cure, then, is it?

I loved Running Scared. I was unaware he was ill.

Spectre X there are many cures for cancer numbnuts, only they don't always work.
Aug 10th, 2003 02:48 PM

Gregory Hines dies

"Tony Award winner Gregory Hines, the tap-dancing actor who started on Broadway and in movies including “White Nights” and “Running Scared,” has died, his publicist says. He was 57. Hines died Saturday in Los Angeles of cancer, publicist Allen Eichorn said.

THE DANCER, among the best in his generation, won a 1993 Tony for the musical “Jelly’s Last Jam.”

Hines became internationally known as part of a jazz tap due with his brother, Maurice, and the two danced together in the musical revue “Eubie!” in 1978. The brothers later performed together in Broadway’s “Sophisticated Ladies” and on film in 1984’s “The Cotton Club.”

In “The Cotton Club,” Hines also had a lead acting role, which led to more work in film. He starred with Mikhail Baryshnikov in 1985’s “White Nights” and with Billy Crystal in 1986’s “Running Scared,” and he appeared with Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett in 1995’s “Waiting to Exhale,” among other movies.

On television, he had his own sitcom in 1997 called “The Gregory Hines Show,” as well as a recurring role on “Will and Grace.” This past March, he appeared in the spring television series “Lost at Home.”"
