End of an Era

Sad to hear of the passing of an old friend, Way of the Dragon's cigar chomping Big Boss Jon T Benn. Jon was a true character, i met him shortly after i arrived in Hong Kong and have some great memories of him, from many a night of drinks and dunner at his Rickshaw Club, later renamed as the Bruce Le Cafe, boat trips and more. Also worked with him on a few projects, I cast him in Fearless with Jet Li and Man with the Iron Fists where Pam Grier described him as a charming gentleman, and shot a number of interviews with him in Hong Kong and Shanghai over the years, before he returned to Kentucky.

Tonight I shall raise a glass and light a stogie in your memory good sir, you shall be missed.
