RIP to a legend.

He was also an MD and a political activist who lived the George Best lifestyle. And he didn't always drink beer, but when he did, it was Dos Equis

I had the exact same reaction and even read it, "RIP So-Crates." My second thought was, "Wow, an RIP thread going to a bit actor in 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure?' Must be a slow news day."

That guy died in 2001, according to IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0824364/

Excellent pull.
 
I was also surprised to see Beckenbauer in the starting lineup.
