Didnt have much of an opinion on Simmons beyond the feeling he was way way over caffeinated. Dude seemed so unnaturally energetic and amped up. May he rest in peace.

As for actress Shannen Doherty, I didnt follow much of her work and wasnt a fan of 90120, but she was fun to watch in Charmed. RIP to heras well.
