There's video of Lloyd looking over the remains of his home up on ABC News:

And Dr. Floyd's house burned down in the same fire:

Quote:
From The great Luke Ski's mailing list (thegreatlukeski.com):

Doug Price, co-creator of "The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd", not to mention the voice & puppeteer of Dr. Floyd, unfortunately lost his house and all his possessions to the Sylmar/Sayer CA fire. His best friend and partner Grant Baciocco has put together a fund raiser to help Doug, offering an exclusive episode of "Dr. Floyd" to anyone who is willing to donate $5 or more, with all proceeds (after PayPal fees) going straight to Doug. Details can be found at Let’s Help Doug! : The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd . So come on everyone, let's help Doug!

I hope that he can pull out of this, at least he wasn't there to be injured.

Hopefully someone will find a way to go back in time to warn him about this.

Damn!

I know people have said it, but I'll say it again anyway:

Why did it have to be someone like him? He seemed like a nice person overall, never was an annoying media presence, and almost everything he touches is entertaining and top-quality. If this happened to Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher, etc, I wouldn't even care. Might even laugh.

But Christopher Lloyd? It's just not fair!

Crap. Still, he is alive and well, and still has cash to buy another house. I think we should be more concerned about people who lost their homes, and who don't have funds to buy new ones.

Big thanks goes to Nemesis Predaking for this awesome sig!!

That's how I feel about it. I feel bad for the people who will be living in tents this winter because they have nowhere else to go now. At least they're in southern CA instead of a more northern state and so won't be freezing to death.

Edit:Something just occurred to me - are there any known TF fans who lost their collections in these fires?

Damn! This is quite a saddening story.

Rather ironic that it happened to his character in BTTF, but he didn't deserve this to happen to him.

I really do hope he can move on and rebuild.
