R.I.P. Christopher Evan Welch - (Grant Test on Rubicon)

I know that Henry Brommell's death has been mentioned (a writer and producer of Rubicon and many more)...but nothing has been mentioned (that I can find) on the death of Christopher Evan Welch (Grant on Rubicon) back in December. He also was playing Peter Gregory on HBO's 'Silicon Valley'and was doing a bang-up job. He was only 48 - lung cancer.

Damn! I'm just re-watching the show and it's hard to believe; a lung cancer... In the show he is the clean, family man. RiP 🌉

Yeah, Silicon Valley suffered terribly without him. Season 1 was great and then the latter seasons have missed the comedy bar and turned into a rom-com-dram. They need to peel it back to the original number of episodes and leave it at that, rather than use filler segments to draw out the same number of jokes of more air time. It's lazy. I first saw Christopher Evan Welch on Silicon Valley and immediately upon seeing him in Rubicon I was like YES! He was awesome.
