"weird - actor who played him in film sam shepard died before him"

If you think THAT is wierd. There was a famous Medal of Honour winner, Audie murphy, a WW2 hero who won every military combat award available from the US Army.

The actor who played him in the film of his life "To Hell and Back", both born and died on the same days!
