I was shocked and saddened to learn of Charlie Rocket's death. My husband was nice enough to tell me about it so I wouldn't find out on the web or in the news. I knew Charlie in 1994 when he appeared on "Touched By An Angel" and I worked on the crew. I looked forward to his episodes because we'd go out and I would show him the more unique hotspots in Salt Lake, like Burt's Tiki Lounge. We became friends during that time. I admired him for his devotion to his wife and marriage. He was a good person. One night another crew member came along and we all ended up at Denny's in Salt Lake City eating Moons Over My-hammy at 2:00 am. I remember him fondly.

TOO BURNED (TO BE QUIT OF THE FIRE) (For Charlie Rocket)
Friday, December 09, 2005
come to the end of a long, knotted rope
I dangle from the tangles
an aged actor performing a last, sad role,
I play the part of the man I most hated
I play the part of the fiend I least admired
I play a worn-out, washed-up has-been
too desperate to know his time
here at the butt of a long, running joke
I strangle in the angles
a weary bone digger digging his last, sad hole,
I play the part for which I am most fated
I play the part of failure perched on a high wire
I play an unknown, unloved, un-nothing
too burned to be quit of the fire
I hate to add a negative note, but I worked on the movie "Delirious" with Charlie and attempted to speak with him a couple of times just in passing on the set. He was either very depressed, on drugs or just a miserable person because he was totally unfriendly. I have learned over the years not to expect to be "friends with actors I work with, but even the major actors are cordial. He was not. Rest in Peace.
Coitdeck: Who knows what was going on in his life at that moment? Even the nicest people have their bad periods. I am sorry that you had a negative experience but from what I have read he was usually a very good guy.
