פורסם ברשימת ה-ksares אתמול בערב. מועלה כאן בהסכמת הכותבת. (מי שמעוניין לשלוח לה פידבק, מוזמן לפנות אלי). ***tissue alert*** Title: Saying Goodbye Rating: PG Summary: Ares´ thoughts on the passing of his alter ego Notes: This came to me and I had to write it. It´s somewhat a composite of all the posts I´ve seen here, all the feelings we have. Therapy for me more than actual talent. ***************************** Wake up. Hey, I´m talking to you. Look, we have a partnership here. You created me, asshole, you breathed life into me and now you´re just leaving me? That fucking sucks! Okay, so you don´t care about me. Fine. What about everyone who loves you? Huh? What about the people who love you? Don´t they mean shit to you? Those millions of people who write about us and talk about us, and- I´m sorry. Look, just stay here, okay. Stick around and fight. Yeah, it´ll be tough. There´ll be pain and tears, but you can´t just give up. Haven´t you learned that from me, if nothing else? I´ll be right here fighting with you; I´m part of you. Together we´ll make it, you and I. Hey, don´t fucking ignore me! If you go, where the fuck does that leave me, huh? Selfish? You bet your ass, kid. They write about us, you know. They keep me alive. They think we- You. I mean you. I would have been nothing but fodder for mythology classes without you, a chapter in some dusty old book. You made them see sides of me history never mentioned. I bet they wouldn´t recognize you now, lying there. I hardly recognize you. Hey, you have to go. I understand. I don´t want you to fight anymore. Sometimes fighting isn´t the answer. Sure, they´ll feel your loss and feel it hard. But they´ll understand. They´ll forgive you. I have. Here, kid, take my hand. I know the way. ******************************** In memory of Kevin Smith We love you.

´Actor was ´better than Crowe- כתבה

כתבה יפהפיה, לקוחה מתוך - http://www.stuff.co.nz/inl/index/0,1008,1105661a10,FF.html Actor was ´better than Crowe´ 18 February 2002 By MICHELLE BROOKER Actor Kevin Smith was a dyed-in-the-wool Cantabrian, who would have been bigger than Russell Crowe, says local actor Mark Hadlow. Christchurch colleagues were devastated yesterday as they spoke about Smith´s early career at the Court Theatre. The former Timaru boy, who learned his craft at Christchurch´s Court Theatre, died at the Beijing Union Hospital on Saturday, after suffering severe brain damage in a fall on February 6. Hadlow said Smith was "a better actor" than Crowe. "I am biased, but he touched my life, everyone´s life in such a lovely open way," he said. Days after his death, mystery still surrounded how the actor fell. Some news reports said he fell three storeys, while others claimed he fell down a flight of stairs. Smith had been celebrating with the staff from Chinese production house Beijing Film Studio. Beijing police are not investigating the accident. Smith, 38, who was voted New Zealand´s sexiest man last December, had just finished filming a Chinese-American movie in China´s capital city. He was about to head to America to film his first Hollywood movie, with Bruce Willis. Former Court Theatre artistic director Elric Hooper gave Smith his big acting break in 1987. "He just walked straight into the foyer and asked me if he could act," Hooper said. "I told him to go away and come back with an audition piece. People who look like that don´t come along every day. "He was with us for three years." Hooper said Smith was "too talented". "He could do everything," he said. "He was physically adept, he could sing, and he had a great comic gift. But he had a dark side. "His temper was wonderful to behold. He punched a hole in a theatre wall once. It is still known as Kevin´s hole." Hadlow said Smith´s talent quickly shone through, and he asked his agent, Robert Bruce, to meet him. "I rang Robert and said, ´Look, there is this guy. His name´s Kevin Smith. You should see him. I think he will be amazing´." Mr Bruce, Smith´s agent for 12 years, said Smith had been "over the moon" about his role as a navy man in the $166 million blockbuster A Man of War, starring Bruce Willis. "The role was a good-guy one," Mr Bruce said. "He was going to be Bruce´s mate, which is very important. He wasn´t just going to be one of the bad guys." Mr Bruce said the irony was that he had told Smith his career would not take off until he was in his late 30s: "I told him, you have to get lines on your face and prove your talent." Raised on a Timaru farm, Smith moved to Christchurch in his late teens. He worked in a variety of jobs, including the advertising department at The Press, before his big acting break. Smith´s parents, Geoff and Yvonne, still live in Timaru. They were at his bedside when he died. Hadlow said Christchurch was important to Smith because that was where it all began: "Without Elric Hooper, there would be no Kevin Smith." Smith was not shy about declaring his love for Christchurch. In a 1999 interview with The Press, he said his move to Auckland to further his acting career was temporary, and his heart would always belong to Canterbury. "It´s where I came to when I first moved away from home," he said. "Where I started making independent adult decisions. I think I will always consider Christchurch home. I am still a dyed-in-the-wool Cantabrian." Smith had a string of television roles in programmes such as McPhail and Gadsby, Gloss, City Life, Lawless, Xena Warrior Princess, and Hercules. He starred in the New Zealand films Desperate Remedies and Channelling Baby. Smith´s body is expected to be flown home on Wednesday. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne, and sons, Oscar, 11, Tyrone, nine, and Willard, three.

Fans and colleagues mourn Smith

עוד כתבה, הפעם מ-NZ Herald. כתוב כאן גם על לוסי ודניאל, מייקל שסיפר לקווין סורבו ושניהם בכו בטלפון, וכל עולם התיאטרון הקיווי שמבכה את מותו. הלינק - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=939881&thesection=news&thesubsection=general Fans and colleagues mourn Smith 18.02.2002 By CATHERINE MASTERS The body of actor Kevin Smith is expected to be brought home towards the end of the week after his death in a Chinese hospital at the weekend. The funeral arrangements have yet to be worked out and his body would probably not arrive before the middle of the week - at the earliest. Smith died in hospital in Beijing early on Saturday after falling several storeys and suffering critical head injuries just over two weeks ago. The Herald has learned that two of Smith´s personal doctors had flown from New Zealand to observe his treatment, but they were not actively involved in it. Few other details emerged yesterday of the events that led to his fall. His agent, Robert Bruce, could not be contacted and Smith´s family is still understood to be keeping details of the incident private. While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is assisting his family with funeral arrangements, it did not know yesterday when his body might be brought home. As celebrity friends of Smith mourned his death, fans around the world have been flocking to his website to express their grief. Many want to set up a memorial or trust fund for his wife and three young children. Many of Smith´s fans left messages saying how deeply shocked they were. "I and others are thinking of setting up a trust fund for Kevin´s family. Nothing is carved in stone at this point," said one. Another fan wrote: "I just want to say how deeply sad I am. There is no easy way to deal with death. It is ugly." Another says to take a lesson from Smith and from his life: "Let´s try to see the goodness in people and the world around us, to live our lives to the fullest, like Kevin chose to. Kevin, I miss you mate." As Ares, the god of war in Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess, Smith gained a huge and enthusiastic following and has several websites dedicated to him. American actor Kevin Sorbo, who played the lead in Hercules, is said to be deeply upset after New Zealander Michael Hurst, his sidekick Iolas in Hercules, broke the news to him. Hurst was to speak about Smith in the United States when he addressed a convention of Xena fans. On Saturday night in Auckland at the Maidment Theatre, where Smith´s friends Danielle Cormack and Lucy Lawless are appearing in The Vagina Monologues, a minute´s silence was observed. Cormack and Lawless were too upset to comment yesterday. Hurst´s partner, Jennifer Ward-Lealand, who acted with Smith in the film Desperate Remedies, said the whole theatre world was there to pay their respects after the loss of their mate. "There were lots of Kevin´s friends and colleagues there and for me it was the best place to be, because I think Kevin would have wanted the show to go on." The minute´s silence was intensely emotional, she said, because everyone had special memories of him. "I mean, really, the only thing missing was Kevin." She said Michael Hurst, a close friend, was a little better than on Saturday. He had stayed up very late Saturday night in America with people who had worked on Xena reminiscing about their times with Smith. "Michael spoke to Kevin [Sorbo] and they both wept on the phone together. That was really good that Michael could talk to him." Caterina de Nave, who produced Channelling Baby in which Smith starred and also cast him in Shortland Street, said he was a fantastic man and the acting world was gutted. "A gentleman, generous, funny, very masculine without being bombastic with it. Just a terrific guy ... I never once heard a cross word."
