Sad news to wake up to here in Dublin this morning."The Nightrider" one of the most iconic cast of Mad Max has passed away. He was also our barman at Drummoyne Rugby Club on a Saturday night many moons ago.

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 !

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.
