RIP NightRider
Just heard on a couple of Mad Max Facebook pages that the actor who played The NightRider has passed.

Re: RIP NightRider
I hope that he went peacefully and without pain. What a performance to be able to make such a strong impression with only a few minutes on screen!

A little chat I had with Vince, years ago. It's pretty rough, but Vince's interviews are pretty rare !

Re: RIP NightRider
Thanks for uploading the interview.
I think his influence was huge in comparison to the small role. With the Nightrider he introduced us into a mad world full of violence and he
created sort of a blueprint for all the crazy and over the top characters in all the Mad Max movies who followed him after.
Really sad he left us.
