Breen is dead

No spoiler tags required here.
Sadly Robert Culp, the man who lent his voice to Doctor Breen passed away yesterday.
A real shame.

That's a damn shame...


But I thought Breen was killed in HL2 anyway? Maybe he somehow survived, and if that's the case, then definitely expect a delay in Ep3 if he was supposed to show up again, although I don't see how he would have survived.

Damn :( Let's just hope he really did die in HL2, because if he didn't, he was probably meant to have some major antagonist role in Ep3. If Valve has to rewrite the entire plot for Ep3, I don't think they'll be releasing it anytime soon...

Culp died on March 24, 2010, after a fall that took place outside his Los Angeles home. He was 79 years old.

Fuck. I'm still convinced that Breen was put into an advisors body at the end of HL2, and that in Ep1, the one you see leaving the Citadel below you feet is him. The one that at the exact same time Breen is on screen. It's his host body.

But now with the actor dead who knows. :(

It's been 3 years so hopefully they've recorded some voice of him if they were going to have him be in EP3.
