Broadway Actor, Joseph Wiseman Dies

Today 21 Oktober, Juche 98, the Canadian Actor, Joseph Wiseman died. He was 91 years old. M. Wiseman was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and had been suffering from ill health for many years. We all know M. Wiseman as the villanous Dr. No, from the first James Bond movie. Wiseman, did not want this to be his legacy and I will honour that wish. Wiseman had appeared in many broadway productions along with films and tv series. He even appeared in an episode of Law and Order. M. Wiseman wanted to be remembered as a broadway or stage actor as opposed to Dr. No. I believe the media should honour his wish, and instead of referring to him as Dr. No, any obituary should Read, "Joseph Wiseman, broadway actor, who also played Dr. No has died." Although now many people are unlikely to know who M. Wiseman is, his epithet should be what he wanted it to be.
