What's your legacy?

Hi, I'm Brian Pombo. Welcome back to Brian J Pombo. Live. This Here's Mike Haggerty is an actor that just passed away. I believe he was 67.

If you're a fan of television and movies, you've probably seen him whether you recognize them or not. pretty popular character actor just really had a whole lot of roles.

I specifically remember I'm from the late 80s and 90s, just in a number of movies and TV shows, it seems like he had all the TV shows at one time, and had some reoccurring characters on a number of sitcoms and stuff.

He was a comedic actor. That was kind of his main area of coverage that just passed away. And it's one of those situations I don't normally take on heavy topics like this, but I want to hit on it.

For some reason, it means more to me that this isn't somebody that people are going to be having huge media, blitzes about his death, and what it means and what an impact he had on everybody.

He was a guy that a lot of us knew to an extent just from him playing different characters, on TV and in movies. No major difference other than that, in most of our lives, and the people that know him, obviously, they're going to have a different perspective.

So it brought in my mind just seeing somebody like this. That's famous, but not Uber famous, I wouldn't have been able to tell you his name, but I could tell his face and his voice.

He was always one of those guys that I enjoyed seeing and doing things because he did it, he did a pretty good job but what is your impact gonna be?

What legacy are you leaving behind and why?

And this is a topic that gets brought up a lot. A lot of people say, you know, what do you want your children and your grandchildren to say about you and all that. And I think that's important, to an extent.

I think it's more important, what you leave with people, whether they recognize it came from you or not, it's what you've passed on. Because, at least in my case, I don't care if I'm remembered or not, that isn't as important to me. As in, did I guess you'd say bring more beauty into the world, rather than more, more of the opposite more darkness, I guess you could say.

And did I was able to pass that on to the people that knew me or beyond, it was able to make an impact in the way that I know is possible that I've seen other people make impacts.

Not that that's my life goal but in terms of legacy, that's how I consider it is what got passed on, not what gets remembered about how I looked or how I talked, or that I was some special person.

I think that's all the type of things that we get involved in while we're here. And we get, you know, the ego gratification that comes from that but in reality, I think that what really matters is what you're able to pass along.

What you're able to wake people up to and if there's a few people that think happily about me after I'm gone because of that. Great. But it's not.

For me, it's not the goal. But it's a heavy topic that most of us don't talk about very often once in a while it gets brought up when a famous person passes when are really famous where people are really caught up with that personality.

I think we've even discussed it here before, when when really famous people pass on? Yeah, I did. We did.
