So so sad to hear this beautiful friend has passed away. Actor Mark Blum. An extraordinary, kind, rare person. We were on screen together for years @mitjamazon and Mark became a true friend. Hugely gifted and incredibly present. God, we had fun together. My union Bob. Life was made so much better by you. Mark, we shall all miss you so. Good-night sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
