Many of you will know David from 'Roll', the movie I was in a few years back, as one of the policemen. He was also very prominent in the Australian film industry, appearing in Young Einstein, Crocodile Dundee III, Black and White, Blackfellas, and many others. He remains the only actor to ever win three Australian Film Industry awards. He died last week in tragic circumstances in a park in Fremantle, Western Australia. I would rather not speculate on the cause but rather focus on the gifts he brought to everyone who knew him. Here are a couple of articles about David: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/the-pain-and-joy-of-lost-star-david-ngoombujarra/story-e6frg6nf-1226100080423 http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/jul/19/aboriginal-actor-david-ngoombujarra-dies http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/20/arts/david-ngoombujarra-australian-actor-dies-at-44.html Here is an accolade I made about David after I heard the news: http://www.fwfr.com/search.asp?accid=4478 Rest in peace, David. I'll miss knowing you're out there making more beautiful art. [/quote]    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON   Check here to include your profile signature.
