00:39 the way he helped others, writing, "When I die, I know people will talk about friends, friends,
00:44 friends. And I'm glad of that. Happy I've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given
00:49 people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web. But when I die, as far as
