Charlie, we love you! (Both of them!).
I am not big on films, but I thought he was great in The Castle.

The funniest show of our 'generation' and Bud will be sorely missed. Having had the privilege of meeting him years ago; I believe Australia has lost not only a very competent actor; but a great real top bloke and arguably: a National Treasure.

So sad to live in a time where I will get to see the last of the greatest pop-culture icons and legends such as Charles have their physical presence taken from us.

Family, friends, supporters and admirers should take solace in the notion that people like him; will live on through their chosen medium as long as we allow them to.

“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
