Michael Thoma is a person I want to dedicate this post to.
He was a actor on Tv show ‘Fame’ and was told he had cancer and decided to bow out of the show where he played a teacher.
To explain his departure the producers arranged for the school to have budget cuts storyline and his character was sacked to save money.
Why his story moves me like the Pope the actor was an open book he chose not to hide his illness he allowed the media and cast to know he was terminally ill.
And after that the cast gave him a hero’s send -off singing the song”Starmaker” which is simply flawless.
What moves me it’s such a underrated tv moment.
Tell me how many people before they die get to get praise from their loved ones on TV.
The cast I give them kudos how they kept their cool even when they knew they were saying a final goodbye to a colleague and friend.
This is a tv moment and shorty later the actor died.
Again cancer has taken so many good people over the years.
Please hear the song and see if you can go through it without bursting into tears and thinking of a lost loved one.
