I'll tell you who I miss. I miss Phil Hartman, the annoying neighbor from "jingle all the way", the news broadcaster on the sitcom "news radio", the voice of the cat on "Kikis delivery service" and many other voice roles.
His twisted wife shot him to death in his sleep. I never knew about that till after I looked him up on IMDB after I watched "Jingle all the way" for the thousandth time. He was a great actor and had a very memorable voice.

"On May 28th, 1998, Phil was shot to death while sleeping in his Encino, California home by his wife, Brynn Hartman. He was shot three times: in the forearm, neck, and head. Brynn left the house and later came back with a friend to show him the dead body. When her friend went to call 911, Brynn locked herself in the bedroom with Phil's lifeless body and stuck a second gun in her mouth and shot herself. It was later discovered by the coroner that Brynn had alcohol, cocaine and the antidepressant, Zoloft, in her system. It was a deadly cocktail that cost her and Phil their lives, and left their two children, Sean Edward (b. 1987) and Birgen (b. 1992) without parents."

I miss Phil Hartman as well, but I also miss Chris Farley and Rodney Dangerfield. The way Phil Hartman went never sat well with me, it's a shame such a horrible thing happened, he was incredibly funny and brilliant.
