Hearing the news of Carl Weathers passing today is shocking, I’m going to struggle through these words…
I was so looking forward to giving Carl the biggest hug at one of these fan expos I heard we were both going to be at this year. I looked forward to that reunion.
Carl called me directly after I was fired. I wasn’t in an emotional state where I could pick up the phone because of how upset I was, but we did end up speaking later on. He was gentle and encouraging and didn’t want me to give up, he was letting me know that he wasn’t throwing me away, he was trying to keep my hope alive in what seemed like quite hopeless scenario, he showed me he cared. That is who he was.
I bonded with him very closely on Mando season 1&2. Jon Favreau felt he would be a good mentor for me because we shared the athlete turned actor bond, so Jon had him direct my first episode in season 2 of Mando. I believe had we gotten to Rangers of the New Republic, Carl would’ve directed me in much more. Jon F was right, we were a great fit.
Carl was a mentor to me on set, he would put both his arms on my shoulders and look me directly in the eyes to calm my spirit. He had a wonderful perspective of telling a story that can only come through his experience and wisdom that he shared with me to help make me shine. I cherish those moments.
I adored making him laugh, I always wanted to figure out how to make him smile, where the corner of his mouth would start to crack and I knew I had him, then out came his bellowing laugh. His laugh I can hear clearly now. His laugh that I will miss dearly.
His big booming voice echoed throughout the stage and you just knew, this is what a movie star truly is.
He obviously shined on screen but man did he light up with such passion in that directors chair.
I’m going to miss my friend and mentor and that mischievous little sparkle in his eye. He was one of the greats and quite a ground breaker. I am flooded by all the precious memories we had together.
My condolences to his family and loved ones. He was a great man. Rest in peace my dear friend. As he would say #Bepeace my friend Be peace. ❤️💔 #CarlWeathers @TheCarlWeathers

Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda - also known as Bray Wyatt - unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.

In 1922, a team of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital, where numerous children with diabetes - often upwards of 50 - were housed in wards. Most of these children were in diabetic comas.
In what can only be described as their deathbeds, these children were waiting for a fate that, at the time, was deemed certain.
However, these scientists, brimming with determination, promptly began administering a newly purified insulin.
As they injected the final comatose child, a miracle happened - the first child who had received the injection started to regain consciousness.
And, one after another, the rest of the children also began to wake up from their diabetic comas. What was once a room of despair and imminent death had become a beacon of hope and joy.
The discovery of insulin was made by Frederick Banting and Charles Best under the supervision of John Macleod at the University of Toronto during the early 1920s.
They were assisted by James Collip, who played a crucial role in purifying insulin, thus paving the way for successful diabetes treatment. Their ground-breaking work earned Banting and Macleod the prestigious Nobel Prize in 1923.
