   I agree with you regarding his level of celebrity (and considering some of   
   the other people they've included in past reels!), however, the fact that his   
   obituary only appeared in his hometown paper (the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch)   
   makes me concerned that perhaps the relevant people at the Academy aren't yet   
   aware of his passing.   
      
   The LA Times only noted his passing today, not as an obituary or a death   
   notice even; just under the heading "Passings."  So, without a big splashy   
   obituary headline, it's easily missed, unless one makes a habit of reading   
   through all the death notices in that section.   
      
   Actually, because of the notoriety/fame he gained as the one-armed man in   
   "The Fugitive," one of the biggest blockbusters of its decade, I'm _sure_   
   they'd include him if they knew.  So I'm hoping this little campaign will   
   bring the information to their attention in a timely enough manner to adjust   
   the clip reel.   
      
   To those of you who don't want to write a long letter, simply put in the text   
   box of the form "Will Andreas Katsulas be in the memorial clip reel?"  That   
   should be sufficient to get the point across.   
      
   Thanks,
