Been a while since I last commented here. Just wanted to commiserate with you all on the loss of Manny, who salvaged Star Trek: Enterprise in its final season and executive produced a decent coda for the original run of 24 with Live Another Day. He’ll be missed.

Manny was a rarity in Hollyweird with his frank honesty… when asked during a Reddit AMA what his biggest regret was while making 24… his answer was “Episodes 5-24 of Season 6″… BURN!!!

RIP Manny… vaya con dios.

I’ll always remember how generous this guy was with his time back when we were all going shithouse over 24s 5th glorious season, he’d take the time to answer fan questions on his forum after the airing of each episode.

RIP to an absolute legend!
