He was inspiring, quadrapalegic who regained some sesation and use in his arms. It's sad to see he didn't make it to the next movie.

 

i just read an article that said the only part of his body he could move was an index finger, what kind of life is that. i admire that he didnt give up like many do, but pressed on with the grimmest of lifes to be an advocate and mentor for many spinal cord victims, a real hero in my eyes. his wife is a real hero as well, stayed by his side for the last 9 years since the accident. i just hope wherever he is, he's walking tall and happy

 

O.K. since Furley was the bad guy in the Rodney Dangerfield thread I will be the bad guy in this thread. Ohh, the guy did so much for spinal cord research, well duh, he was rich and had a spinal cord injury. Before he fell off his horse he didn't donate a cent to spinal cord research. He was a marginal actor at best, the only movie I liked of his was Village of the Damned.
