I welcome the new digital home cinema revolution. I just wanna watch John Wick 4 on my couch with Lola.

RIP, Sam Lloyd

Rest In Peace to one of the funniest actors I’ve ever had the joy of working with. Sam Lloyd made me crack up and break character every single time we did a scene together. He could not have been a kinder man. I will forever cherish the time I had with you, Sammy. pic.twitter.com/wwyvGNbveG

Such a talented and hilarious person. So sad to hear of his passing today.

The Valve Index jumped 69% today because Gabe doesn’t tweet. Like ever. We don’t think he has a Twitter account. https://t.co/iRbrnlCw2V
