He made the Predator look otherworldly and absolutely terrifying. What an awesome guy
And Peter Cullen made the predator sound otherworldly and terrifying
Agreed 100 percent
The first predator is a masterpiece and it never gets old.
very true i dont know why, is it nostalgia?
So true
Very true, just like the first Alien from ‘79
Absolutely.
@Tariq Waseem and the hunted being the best elite military personnels you can find on Earth. Dutch being the sole survivor of his unit at the end showed how difficult to bring the Predator down.
RIP Kevin Peter Hall (May 9, 1955 - April 10, 1991), aged 35 You will be remembered as a legend.
How did he die?
@@simoiltaylor7351 AIDS-related pneumonia
Wow
@@simoiltaylor7351It Was Pneumonia
A legend? He’s been in two films and didn’t show his face. Nobody knew him. He was a nobody
There will never be another guy to play the Predator like KPH. He was the original and the best. His physical acting was unmatched. RIP OG Pred
Yes Definitely, his Movement was PHENOMENAL. True Class, He MADE That Part Work.
Also, he was originally considered for a part of Super Shredder in _TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze._ Only recently _Kevin Nash_ said that the costume was meant for KPH himself.
When they relied less on CGI effects and concentrated more on character development and narrative. This is what makes movies more memorable
This movie is pure and nostalgic. I wish I could get my money; well I wish my parents could get their money back; when we all went to see the last one a few years ago.
What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils
@@BlueWhaleBoy I wish I could go back in time and (re) see it the first time!
The music was also terrific
@@gricius Alan Silvestri composed it, as well as the Back to the Future movies!
And still to this day the first Predator movie is still the best.
There’s other Predator movies?
@@kweller3117 Yes..where you been at? lol. You got Predator 2 that came out in 1990, you got Alien vs predator that came out in 2004, than you have Alien vs Predator Requiem that came out in 07, than you had Predators that came out in 2010 and than you had the last one (The Predator) that came out in 2018. Its a shame they couldnt get Alien vs predator right since that was a big promotion in Dark Horse comics for years. The only one I like out of the rest besides the original is Predators. Now Shane Black, who starred in the 1st Predator, he directed "The Predator" that came out in 2018. Now if im not mistaken..his idea for what he wanted to do with that movie as far as the script is not what was produced. And he was ticked off by that. He wanted the movie to be an "event" and bring it back to that suspense/horror/sci-fi that made the original great. So basically..we didnt get the predator movie that he wanted to make
I love all the predator movies. Hope they don’t stop making them
Shawn Williams -- I think he was joking
I don't know why Alien Vs Predator is so unpopular. It's all monster fighting and you get to see Predator display human intelligence when he helps the heroine.
For those who don't know about his tragedy of a death: "While working on the TV series Harry and the Hendersons, Hall announced that he had contracted HIV from a blood transfusion during surgery for injuries he sustained in a car accident. He died from AIDS-related pneumonia on April 10, 1991, a month short of his 36th birthday." How awfully tragic.
I knew he died but not what of. That's a tragedy of epic proportions. Imagine going in for routine surgery and coming out with a death sentence.
@@muskokamike127 Man I know. It's unthinkable.
@@Programm4r There were many when people up here in Canada started catching HIV from blood transfusions.
There's nothing routine about surgery performed to save car accident victims, least of all in '85 when Harry & the Hendersons was being filmed. Contracting HIV from blood transfusion was relatively common in the 80s and early 90s, because we didn't have a good way to detect HIV in donor blood. He managed to live 6 years after contracting HIV which for the time was quite a long time. Thankfully today HIV isn't a death sentence.
Man that's sad 🥺
Sad how the good people die so young RIP Kevin Peter Hall, you were amazing and helped me enjoy my childhood and movies
He was a ballet dancer.... that makes so much sense now. He had such an elegant way of moving that brought so much to the character that nobody has ever been able to replicate. Amazing performance.
That does make sense. I always thought the later movies made the predators move more stereotypically brutish. Hall's predator seems more agile and moves with finesse.
He did a phenomenal job in predator 2 too. He really made predator 1 & 2 a force to be reckoned with.
@Ricky Prickles I'm not sure that "nobody has ever been able to replicate" K.P.H.'s "elegant way of moving".... i mean.., Andy Serkis. ....?
@@cammo777 He's referring to portayals of predator characters in subsequent films.
I never connected Ballet with the Predator "stance" ( Ballet is art and fluffy Predator is the scariest "monster" I seen on screen) but wow Kevin Peter Hall bridged 2 complete opposites and made movie history. even in the set parking lot when he is moving about as the Predator in costume I would have ran the other way KNOWING it is just a movie, That guy crushed it on every level.
RIP Kevin Peter Hall. The one and ONLY true Predator.
And the only Harry The Sasquatch😍😍😍💪💪💪💪
Yup.
@@roberte.miranda6122 u mean Harry & the Henderson's?
@@armcollector6660 obviously that's what they frickin meant. ..DUHHHH! !! Sheesh don't be such a twat.
@@cammo777 I'm being a twat for asking a question well isn't that something either way I got my answer but thank u for your reply & being the ass that ur!!
This man doesn't get enough credit , he was epic as predator
Ikr
No performer will ever top how he brought this character to life.
Even if they make 100 Predator movies, they’ll never top the first one.
I think one aspect that we are more attached to movies like this is because there is an actual physical being in there which you can somewhat relate to compare to let's say a million dollar special effects it's amazing to the eye but you know it's just computer generated. It's in our conscience to analyze thing.
Damn straight
Absolutely
predator 2 was pretty good too
No shit, Sherlock !
Legendary performance, holds up to this day R.I.P. Kevin.
Kevin set the precedent for every following role of The Predator. The first Predator will always be one of my favorite sci-fi movies. We appreciate your life and the life you brought on screen Kevin!
He will never be forgotten. Predator 1 is one of the best films, made believable by Kevin. 🌟
He was also Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.
No one played the predator and the movements better than Kevin . Unforgettable performance back in 1987.
i notice a lot of people who get into these full body suits back then things didnt end well.
Agreed
Jean Claude couldn't handle it, and he was a pretty decent athlete. Huge props to Kevin Peter Hall.
@sam onella .... tell your teacher they're a moron. The original person who had the part was a "caucasian". Kevin Peter Hall ended up playing the part because he was better. He was also a very fine human being. Perhaps your teacher has an unconscious bias to racism for thinking it's racist to begin with.
@@merisonola and he succeed to launch his career with the lie that he actually worked with Arnold.
Predator (1987) is one of the best Action/Sci fi/Horror movie which other Predator movies failed to show in them.
@David T It's in my top 5 coolest loudest movies ever especially if you got to see it in a theater back then.
hmm you see not much action , on other movies how on predator 2 you see more predator and on avp you see more gimmicks items and co
@David T The sound design was awesome.
*_John 3.16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”_* _Jesus Christ loves you. Repent and be saved. Only Jesus Christ saves. God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ_
The second movie with Danny Glover was pretty good too. The rest of the franchise is just “grind ‘em out” hack.
Utmost respect to the actors in the 80s who tolerated hours and hours of their lives wearing uncomfortable suits and makeup to bring us the amazing movies we grew up with. Not to mention geniuses like Stan Winston who brought us fabulous practical effects that stand the test of time. RIP Stan and Kevin.
A friend of mine, an artistic genius worked for Winston on this film in our senior year of high school, but our high school would not let him take the weeks off school to go on location. He also worked on Beetlejuice in our senior year (both were 'after-school jobs' lol). Through him, I got to meet several of the FX artists who worked on this film, as well as several more who he worked with on later films. Unfortunately, I had/have the artistic ability of a garden gnome, so I could only live vicariously through him, and not work with him, but I am happy for my friend's success in the industry, and a few of the people he worked for and with, a few who went on to win Oscars in effects.
Ever see Harbinger Down? Good practical effects from Alec Gillis.
I don't know a single soul in the industry who had a bad word to say about him.. real OG of the profession &a genuinely nice person
Kevin in that suit was terrifying visually. But his choreography and movement in that suit just made him SINISTER. The way he moves in the movie gives it an edge.
The movements were brilliant which made Predator iconic. One of my favorite movie of all times and Blade.
On par* with Peter Weller in Robocop. 👍
I agree 100% and Kevin was an athlete,too-so he knew how to use his size and how to be fast for his size.
@@BlueAlien1313 I see you have good taste in movies blade was the best marvel movie hands down i also liked hellboy 2 the golden army very good movie aswell.
@@brandonrice1124 that is a good one. I own it!
He truly brought the costume to life. Each and every pose with him in the suit showed character. What a way to live that everyone has kind memories of him. An incredible human being in every sense.
true, something is missing with newest sequel of predators. the gesture of the hunter that describe that they are hunter are kind a missing. the body langguage of Kevin did brought the hunter come to life, giving it a character than just a monster~
One of my favourite movies i watched as a youngster. Predator scared the shit out of me, Kevin Peter Hall brought him really to life with his acting.
I saw this movie in Hawaii in 1987 when it was released. I was stationed in Kaneohe Bay. This movie was not available locally, I had to drive basically to the other side of Oahu to the North Shore to see Predator, and I was glad I did, what a movie👍👍
I’m a Gen X and one thing I absolutely LOVED about these movies was the insane character acting we got from guys like this! Michael Myers, Jason, etc….these dudes never spoke a single word, but they communicated SO MUCH! 😝🤘🏼
agreed, thats why some jason's and some myer's are better than others
💯 agree, Kane Hodder is Jason voorhees!!! 👍
This should be a message to people because what was he remembered for. his kindness and professionalism and sense of humour.
Well put Paul
Thank you, Paul. Wish everyone could realize that color (ethnicity) and character are 2 different things. Maybe hateful people could stop stereotyping.
@@sylvialawrence261 I didnt even thunk about that until you made the point. Great people don't need a label. Oh I support Trump also. If people stopped bringing up race, we can get past it.

@@jasonpack7442 "i support Drumpf ( sry i always use their Original names when referring to the Swamp Creatures/Synagogue of satan ) also".....why would you OPENLY state that you're oblivious to the fact that Politics ( Poly-Ticks, aka Many-Bloodsuckers) is the biggest PsyOp out there!! You know they all just puppets, working for Technocrats, Oligarchs, Lobbyists etc etc, don't you? Rothschild Central Banker WILBUR ROSS bailed the Don out of bankruptcy. Don and daughter denounced Jesus Christ and practice kabbalah. Don did more for Israel than U.S.. This is all common knowledge among ppl WHO READ AND LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD AND HOW IT WORKS.
He was also the helicopter pilot that rescues Arnold at the end of the movie.
Was he in his Predator costume at the time? I'd love to see Arnold's face as he got into the helicopter. LOL
That's kinda poetic
@@bluemarbel1242 no he was not in a costume
@@bluemarbel1242 hahaha
Oh really ? Hahaha 😅
Kevin was a friend of mine...we went to school together..everybody loved Kevin..... we joked in school..he told me he wanted to be a leading man in the movies.. I told him Big Foot... that was in 1972... I knew his brother and I met his mother.....it's really sad he's gone..Kevin was one of kind...where ever Kevin went others followed him... He was such a kind individual...we were on the chess team together also.. Kevin was truly a great guy...it was a privlage to have known him..and so unfortunate of him passing...he deserved better......
What a genuinely nice guy. Great film, great character and great actor. Sadly missed. RIP Kevin.
Everyone addresses Kevin Peter Hall as a kind, sweet hearted person. Its very sad to hear that he passed away at a early age of 36!! RIP KPH. You're a forefather of today's predators!!
Did he die at 36? Not very old..
@@octavius8562 WTF are you talking about dickhead? Get off the drugs!!
@@octavius8562 It isn't old at all. He died young.
@@NathanChisholm041 He got HIV from a tainted blood bag and in the late 80s and early 90s that was a death sentence (he died in 91).
@@nerofl89 wow. 🌹 A lot of good people were taken too soon by that virus. The modern pandemic that a lot of people still ignore.
Kevin was the tallest at 7' 2" of seven brothers who were all over 6' 5" in height . RIP Kevin you died too young.
Big dude.
@@erwino8618 he had a sister too not sure what height.
He wasn't 7'2. Not with an amazing personality like that. More like 12 feet tall😏
Wow! A family full of giants. A whole basketball team.
Gentle giant.
Due to him, it became my favourite movie of all time. RIP
The way he moves at 2:50 look at his posture, look at the way his arm and wrists are pointing with his gauntlet. He truly is the spark.
Story, writing, production, directing, casting, music, special effects...this movie combined all aspects into perfection. It is absolutely timeless.
This movie has aged so well, and it’s funny to think a guy so light hearted played an alien so terrifying.
That is the scale we balance. Good looking dude too.
It seems like good guys play the best bad guys.
@@BlueAlien1313 gay
He's not alien. He's predator.
@@celospiky329 but predator is alien.
Rip 🕊 Kevin Hall. Thanks for kicking off such an awesome, unforgettable performance and character.
Agreed for sure
Kevin Peter Hall's physical performance added a huge element to the mystic of the character as this creature that was incredibly tall and strong but also very agile. It made you feel that nobody was safe from him
legendary performance. anyone who grew up with this movie knows his name.
He was also Harry in Harry and the Hendersons
I remember watching the credits to find out how the predator was.
And we all had nightmares. :-)
What a great guy, one of if not my favourite movies of all time. Handsome articulate great actor this guy had it all RIP KEVIN taken way too soon ❤
I agree ///I went to see predator when it released in 1987 in theatres////the good ole days of going to a cinema
I watch this movie so many times as a child. They don’t make movies this good anymore.
Still scary as, decades later great great film making.
They do make films this good now...oh wait
What a great experience it must have been to be The ONE Predator - The ORIGINAL.
When I was a kid in the 80's I was so excited when I watched Predator for the first time. I was so WOW, especially in the ending when the Predator revealed itself...total badassery. Forever a classic.
@@MLCrow I watch it with my sons now:)
Of all the Hollywood movies I’ve watched, this has to be one of the best of all time in terms of casting. It’s almost like the Universe aligned in terms of the whole project, nothing at all fell short imo. God bless you KPH, and thank you!
No other will ever encapsulate the essence of the Predator. You made your stake in history. RIP Gentle Giant. You have an angelic smile!
R.I.P Mr. Kevin Peter Hall.
I have all the respect in the world for this man. The conditions on that set were terrible. I couldn't imagine how uncomfortable it must of been in that costume. Yet, with total professionalism, he managed to create the most iconic movie villain of all-time. RIP KPH
It's impressive how good the suit looks in full light. Most suits need to be lit right to be believable. True testament to Winston's craft
Imagine if you didn’t know the movie and saw it out in the forest!
@@goobytron2888 NOPE
@Karl with a K When? 1987?
@Karl with a K 😆
Wow, never knew anything about this guy. That's awesome that people have such a loving memory of him.
The Predator and Harry, two very different but indelible creatures played by Mr. Hall, may he rest in peace. ❤
💪😎
Gone too soon. He is and always will be The Predator. I also think he did a marvelous as Harry in Harry and the Hendersons (1987), Prophecy (1979) as the mutant bear monster, and of course the Monster in Monster in the closet ( circa 1986-1989).
@maxx schooler yep
I still can’t believe the same guy played Harry and Predator. He had a phenomenal gift for breathing a totally believable alien life into life forms that don’t exist.
So nice, that somebody thinks off that! :-)
Damn that suit must have been so miserably hot and sweaty and he's wearing it in the JUNGLE, what a beast!
Imagine the smell inside that thing. Hope they had different ones during the duration of filming 😂😂😂
Aw man, I've watched Predator so may time and I had no idea about how much of a legend this actor was. So sad he passed so young and under such crappy circumstances. Much love to Kevin Peter Hall!!
absolute legend. I dont think anyone after him nailed his movement. He gave the predator a kind of grace and mysterious feel. And I miss that along with the original look in the sequels that came after p2.
This movie will forever stand the test of time, a true action film, one of my all time favorites, Kevin brought the predator to life R.I.P! 💯
It's not just action...it's also a mix of sci-fi, horror. I also like the bautiful landscape (jungle, forest). The cast is badass. This movie is special (at least for me).
me and my best friend growing up woul do a weird ass joke of marking every charater in the movie as someone we know in like predator for our dumb asses was not free from that to make good laughs with eachother and inside jokes
They broke out the minigun while hoofing it through the jungle... Definitely a true action film lmao.
This is the best action movie ever ,no other movie will ever get close.
I don't know. Fried green tomatoes was pretty crazy.
common do it
chuck norris films are better
@@Brian-tx1pq LMFAO!
T2 spits out drink “Am I a joke to you?”
Kevin Peter Hall sounds like a real cool guy. He terrified millions of people with his performance in Predator all due to his talents in dancing and Martial Arts which he worked so hard to perfect. Your work is preserved more many generations to enjoy RIP
Kevin Peter Hall really made it work. Fantastic performance 😎👍
Back in the day, when they still made worth watching, unlike today.
yea
Nahh subjective
The 1980s were the best in so many ways, no better time to be a kid: the movies, cartoons, music, toys, cereals, video games, malls, arcades, record shops, comic book stores, Chuck e Cheese, fast food, tree forts, BMX, Skateboarding, bermuda shorts, so many things peaked in the 80s
Brite lights lol
A kid? I had a hell of a time as an adult!
@@user-tj3wr6dj4d - " BIG CITY ?" LOL
And it wasn’t mind controlling like it is now with the smart phones............I truly believe that a lot of younger people are developing artificial forms of autism and ADD from these devices.........anyway PREDATOR was an masterpiece!
I've lived through 60 years and today world is in the toilet.. 50s,60s,70s,80s, even early 90s very good, after 2000 forget it..!!!
He definitely brought character to the predator. The subtle movements and way he held himself made for one scary and badass alien
Well said. Then you get the actor who played the predator in the turkey 🦃 Prey. And basically he moves like ……… a human. Shocking. I only seen clips of Prey and they are enough to put me off watching the entire film.
@@kevinheath6812 great movie Bruh, check it out.
I agreed, the gesture is missing. the body langguage that describe the Predator aren't just a monster, they are hunter. but new generation of Predator didn't show this much body langguage. now they often move like an arrogant human being or simply monster than hunter.
@@coolhand1966 maybe a good movie but terrible Predator movie. I didn't watch the film, but seen enough to stay far away from it.
@@hadesdescent6664 "I didn't watch the film" - but you know it's terrible from the trailers - nuff said.
He set the pace for all of the future Predators. Awesome.
THIS is the proof of why CGI never looks real or right. kevin peter hall not only is a total legend but really did insert that SPARK inside what would otherwise just be a suit or series of computer graphic animations. its because we dont have kevins nowadays that movies just arent as good.
Exactly, now tell NASA that.
@Mox Fulder Yeah but movies dont have the GEM/ SPARK like they used to. Movies today are boring af and unorginal I personally prefer movies recorded in actual locations. Just looks better man.
@Mox Fulder Yeah but it's crap
CGI is not the problem.Bad CGI and CGI in movies with bad scripts and bad acting is the problem.
@@JR-ju3kj you just described 97% of all CGI scenes
RIP. We all owe Kevin Peter Hall a great thanks for being a part of entertaining so many. A big loss with his passing way too young.
He was the best predator, that guy was a giant, wow, a awesome gentle giant who also played Harry in Harry and the Henderson's, I also remember him in a short lived series on NBC back in the 80s called Misfits of science, really awesome dude, too bad he died so young, R.I.P BRO and thanks for your great work.
He played on 227 a few times too
He also portrayed the alien in the super scary movie, Without Warning.
“Old painless is waiting” This movie is forever a classic
Ain't got time to bleed
the scariest thing about the first Predator movie was Billy's laugh.
I saw it when I was 8 (1988) it was pretty scary at that age. Woodpeckers put the fear of the Pred in me back then for a while.
"We're all gonna die.."
Billy was the second scariest character after the Predator 😁
"If it bleeds, we can kill it!
Agree!
No CGI needed..awesome
1. They used CGI in the original Predator 2. CGI is not bad. Bad CGI is bad.
There are people in this world that have an Aurora around them, they don’t need to say anything or do anything but they have something about them. Kevin is one of those people, very rare individual, what a lovely man.
Aurora?
RIP to both to the best Predator ever Kevin Peter Hall and his creator Stan Winston :(. Its crazy to think that for a movie released back in 1987 has aged so beautifully. everytime i watch the movie i still hope for these characters (even Dillion) to survive. Kevin Peter hall played the predator so well (despite the fact that he couldn't see well in that costume) he played the part so well. everyone played their parts so well.
After seeing this, and reading up on Kevin Peter Hall, I’ve deduced that he was a positive force to all around him. And my heart is broken 30 years later, and I wish he was still here.
Do anyone remember Harry and the Hendersons. A 80's movie. He was the actor playing Harry the Big foot creature.
I did not know that till now
Learn something new everyday 👍
Great movie haha
Loved that movie!!!!
He played the midget Nick Nack in Bond also.
I have total respect for actors who play these kind of roles. The monster is always memorable. Rest in peace.
When movies used a real person in a real suit instead of CGI.. I love the result!
Never see it again, big men like Kevin Peter Hall are overlooked for shitty graphics. G'Day from shithole w.a. australia
Predator came out in 1987 you fuckin doorknob.
all the fake u used to see wasnt fake, today all u see is an illusion
@@licensedtoill9278 i suggest to watch "superior firepower" the behind the scenes of aliens movie, there u can also see how marvellous was the job done to create that movie, u can find it for free on utube

When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️

The story of his death is so sad.He seemed like a really nice guy.RIP Kevin
Some people are just born for certain types of roles.. Hall definitely was.
True
It's sad such a great guy died so young and because of an accident too. He'll always live on from his legendary performance in Predator.
@Mirsad Redzovic He was involved in a car accident and received a blood that was contaminated with HIV. He died of pneumonia.
Yeah really messed up what happened. Almost seemed like a set up
@Mirsad Redzovic It happened back then. The legendary Sci-Fi author Isaac Asimov died in a similar fashion. Blood transfusions tainted with HIV while undergoing surgery.
Arthur Ashe became the first (and remains the only) African American male tennis player to win the U.S. Open and Wimbledon singles titles. He was also the first African American man to earn the No. 1 ranking in the world and the first to earn induction into the Tennis Hall of Fame. Always an activist, when Ashe learned that he had contracted AIDS via a blood transfusion, he turned his efforts to raising awareness about the disease, before finally succumbing to it on February 6, 1993.
RIP Kevin. Always be remembered as a nice kind hearted guy
This guy will forever be one of my favorite actors of all time! R.I.P. bro! You were the Predator and I don’t think anyone will ever pull off like you did!
He has a very good HEART, i hope everyone will be just like him..
This movie never gets old
An wonderful person. So sad his live was cut so short. IMO, he was the real star in Predator.
Kevin Peter Hall was in an underrated show called Misfits of Science which I loved, he didn’t have to wear any suits or makeup and he did a great job
One of my favorite movies! That guy did an impressive, act with that suit on, made predator so believable!

Kevin Peter Hall is a legend for all times! I grew up in awe of Predator and Predator 2. I don't think anybody could have whooped on Schwarzenegger or Glover back in the '80s with such ridiculous bad-ass ease. Quite possibly the coolest-looking alien I'd ever seen, for sure. And don't forget how much of that Gentle Giant kindness he brought to the role of Harry in Harry and the Hendersons. One of the reasons I continue to oppose the over-digitalization of movie monsters nowadays is that character actors like KPH MADE those movies what they were. They have the talent to give aliens and other monsters way more depth than they might otherwise get to express.
I wish all of humanity was like Kevin...
You got to give this guy real acting credit for this role. Every single movement of his made this villain really super scary. RIP...you are part of movie history and remembered for it.
This guy did such a great job in that role. The movements he had looked so natural and so alien at the same time. Really well done.
He was such a gentle giant, yet he nailed how terrifying the Predator is, R.I.P. Kevin.
I didn't realize he passed soon after making Predator 2. His wife played Olivia on Sesame Street. I liked her too. They are both very missed.
No kidding??!!I didn't know he was married to Olivia.very cool
What happened to him? Wow, time just flies by so fast as you get older, huh? 😦
@@dlp.932 he contracted HIV through (allegedly) a blood transfusion. Lots of rumors saying he was gay but idk. He died after Predator 2.
She is also played Marla Gibbs’ best friend on the show 227. The show that started Regina King’s career.
@@Budd631 No he was not Gay.
WOW, DAMN I NEVER KNEW THAT MR HALL HAD DIED. MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SEEING THIS VIDEO, HE SUCH A REALLY BEAUTIFUL PERSON. REST IN PEACE BROTHER.
He died but hes memories as one of the best villain of this movie still hount the movei goers
The original Predator, Terminator and Alien movies are untouchable!!!
I remember seeing the trailer for Predator in the cinema and thinking "This is going to be a kickass movie !!!".
I remember: "she said it was the jungle, it came alive and took him!!"
