I'm pretty sure that many of you my age did a Bond mix tape using one of his cassettes, no ? I did.
And yes, I did a couple of Bond mixtapes back in the day...and not only do I still have them, I occasionally dust-off my "Walkman" to play them. The last one included all of the theme songs (and a couple of musical clues) through TWINE.

I have hundreds and I still listen to them.

Unexpected, indeed.
EDIT: Seems like it's confirmed.

R. I. P. Yaphet Kotto, great actor.
And RIP to Yaphet Kotto.
Lunney was among the lead flight directors for many of the Gemini and Apollo missions in the 1960s and 1970s, and keen space historians will note that he played a key role in the Apollo 13 crisis. While the actual explosion occurred on the watch of Gene Kranz (portrayed by Ed Harris in “Apollo 13”), much of the work required to stabilize the situation was done by Lunney’s team after they came on console, and for his efforts he was awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom. Post Apollo, he also helped manage the Space Shuttle program from 1981 to 1985. And in one of the great examples of life of coming full circle, his youngest son Bryan became a flight director towards the end of the Shuttle era. Somewhere on my Hard drive I actually have a picture of Bryan and his father on console during one of the final shuttle missions in 2011.
One of the true legends of the space age.
Ad astra Mr. Lunney and RIP.

I know him mostly from the US TV shows "Just Shoot Me" and "The Goldbergs", but he also starred in films such as "Fun with Dick and Jane" and "The Owl and The Pussycat."

RIP Mr. Segal.
That's sad news. I liked him as the lead Quiller in the great spy film The Quiller Memorandum (1966) which also starred Max von Sydow as the villain Oktober and which had a score by John Barry.
He had a good innings it’s fair to say.
