He did a perfect job on Empire.
Just remembered that Kershner was also in "The Last Temptation of Christ," as the guy who was about to cast the first stone but was stopped by Jesus.
Quite the Renaissance man. He will be missed.
Yep, I read up on some of his projects and it is an amazing group of work.
