I was a pretty big Swayze fan for a guy. "Road House" is one of my guilty pleasures since I get to watch both him and Sam Elliott be badasses.

Swayze always seemed to be a really likeable guy, pretty down to Earth, realistic about his gifts and fortunes in the business. He and his wife were an amazing couple as far as I could tell. There's something to this dancing with the Mrs thing, I think.

Hands down, my favorite film of his was "To Wong Foo". By all accounts, it was a part he wanted badly, and probably not just because he got to wear dresses. As with most serious actors, he wanted to be something on screen besides beefcake, and as Miss Vida Boheme, he most certainly was. Stunning performance, not only by him but by Snipes and Leguizamo as well.

Rest well, Patrick. You'll be missed.
