Wow, bummer. Sounds like he wasn't exercising sound judgement, that's for sure!

The ironic thing is that I was watching The Watchmen yesterday, and I remembered that they mapped Greg's body to create Dr. Manhatten. Then I read that he got killed.

Stupid thing he did, and unfortunately, he paid the price.

Yup - I remember that. face and acting was someone else, but he was the body

He must have felt like he just got hit by a train

Sure sounds like a suicide. So many people think a guy like that is rich. He could have been broke. Many of those magazine covers for bodybuilding and fitness are done for free for the publicity. If he was actually filming something on an active track of a high speed train that is really nuts.

Was a very respectful and cool person. One of my favorite motivational speeches from Gregg. RIP.

This is really a tragic accident out here in Burbank. The police do have video from the station, and surrounding cameras, but also on that camcorder, and from his friends. Wow.

Tried to pull a "cool" shot with a handy cam, while train passing by/standing very close to it, tripped and fell under it? Certainly possible. very unfortunate, but not surprising.

I'm going to Echo this. They said he tripped. What flinging crew would let a guy get within a foot or two of a moving train. He probably fell backwards and got his head or body cut in half

Are you claiming he was Plitt in two?

da_vinci · « **Reply #90 on:** January 18, 2015, 01:53:02 PM »

Someone said he was into coke. If that's true, being high may have induced the "Superman ego" and then all kinds of stunts may seem possible.

the news even made it into the brit papers.

Plitt acted alongside Robert DeNiro and Matt Damon in The Good Shepherd, and Terminator 4 with Christian Bale

Greg Plitt, a former model, actor and renowned fitness instructor, has died after being struck by a train in Burbank.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Transit Services Bureau said that he was struck by a Metrolink train at 4.10pm on Front Street, north of the Metrolink station.

Plitt, 37, recently starred in the Bravo show ‘Work Out’. It was reported by KABC that the former Calvin Klein model was with some friends who may have been filming at the time.

“He had on all black. The train went by. I saw him stumble over the tracks. He had a camcorder in his hand,” a Metrolink passenger told the local TV station.

Plitt appeared in a number of films. He acted alongside Robert DeNiro and Matt Damon in The Good Shepherd, and Terminator 4 with Christian Bale. He was also a body double in superhero film Watchmen.

The incident is currently under investigation.

That surprised me too, he had minor roles in a decent number of shows and movies. Usually an extra, or something like doorman, fitness trainer, boyfriend, etc.... Best year seems like 2007 - 2008, where he had a soap opera role, and a role as a carpenter on a reality show.

Is it because they can't get access to a military base and tanks?
