Sad news for all Alien fans. Al Maththews passed away yesterday at the age of 75
fans will(such as myself)remember Al Matthews who played the cigar chomping, tough talking Sgt Apone in Aliens. In reality Al Matthews was a Vietnam war vet which brought alot more authenticiy to his character. He also had a small part in The Fifthe Element and even reprised his role as Apone for the game Aliens Colonial Marines. It's never easy when we lose good people especially ones who created memorable characters that leave an impression on us.
Goddbye Al, a true bad-ass.
