Mortal Weapon 2 Actor Derrick O Connor Died at 77

Although Riggs and Murtaugh anchor each episode of the franchise Lethal Weapon each entry into the series of beloved buddy buddies introduced incredibly different villains for heroes to fight. In this respect, it can be argued that the villains of the film Lethal Weapon never pbaded drug traffickers in South Africa Lethal Weapon 2 . Some heavyweights have supported this particular set of evildoers, but unfortunately we now have to bid farewell to one of the best. Specifically, we learned that the Irish actor Derrick O. Connor is dead.

According to Deadline, Derrick O. Connor died Friday, June 29 in Santa Barbara, California, dying of pneumonia. He was 77 years old and had a filmography that dated back to the late 1960s. The most famous role of Derrick O 'Connor was undoubtedly that of Pieter Vorstedt, the hand man of Lethal Weapon 2 who could fight against Martin Riggs (and was particularly deadly with a throwing knife)

. ] We can not say enough about what Derrick O Connor brought to Lethal Weapon 2 since Pieter Vorstedt remains one of the best characters in the franchise. In fact, if you're looking for a reminder of the strength of his performance in this particular movie, you can check out the scene in which he reveals that he's murdered Riggs's wife, below!

Of course, while Derrick O ' Connor undoubtedly made his most famous appearance on the screen as Pieter Vorstedt in Lethal Weapon 2 he had many other impressive screen credits to point out. In addition to his role as South African badbadin in the 1989 thriller action, O 'Connor also starred in films like Daredevil Pirates of the Caribbean: the treasure chest of death and End of days . He was a reliable character actor with many distinct personalities and talents to bring to the film world, and he was apparently known for cutting his own lines to let his non-verbal performance carry scenes. His absence will certainly be felt by those who particularly love the 1980s popcorn movies.

It's with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to this icon of the franchise Lethal Weapon .
