Eddie Nicart, director, stuntman, actor, passes away last Saturday, Sept 27. He was 68.
From a stuntman in the late 60s, slowly making a name as a character actor in the 70s and director in the 80s, Nicart, though underrated, somehow made a mark in the local movie industry with a respectable film credentials to his name. His name though doesn't ring a bell in the movie circle and his death was not even mentioned in the news. We just heard this sad news from friends in the social media. Nicart, sad to say, was one of our so-called unsung heroes being neglected by our local film industry.
Farewell, direk Eddie Nicart...
