Oh, this is really weird.

An actor named Stanley Kamel died this morning. He was known in recent years as Adrian Monk's psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Kroger, in Monk. Would you like to know what series I just rented two seasons of? Would you like to know who I just saw acting not two hours ago?

I hadn't heard that he died, I just felt like watching some Monk and Wednesday is two-for-one day at my video store.

I can't help thinking how sad Adrian Monk would be. I hope this doesn't sound too disrespectful--I certainly mean it as much as a tribute to Kamel's performance as anything else. But of course I didn't know him as a man, only as this character.

He always reminded me of Frank Sinatra, in a way.
