Stan Kirsch Memory | Adrian Paul's Random Thoughts

[bradbradley]

I enjoyed him in that role. He was the perfect fit for Richie. You could tell how much that crew cared about each other. RIP Stan.

Not gonna lie… this random thought got me a bit choked up. Grew up on that series and you all had a huge impact on my life.

Stan Kirsch did such a great job with that character of Ritchie. It was so relatable. Such a good actor. Wish I had a chance to know him. :-)

It’s so tragic about Stan Kirsh. It’s bizarre how sad Richie’s death was in the show and his real death eerily mirrors that.

[jedirayden]

I remember when the episode featuring Richie's true death first aired... I was 17 or so, and I cried my eyes out, probably for at least half an hour because my mom heard me crying when she went to bed and she thought I meant an actual friend of mine had died when I told her that Richie was dead. She was pretty mad when I explained what was happening. When Stan passed away a couple years ago, my mom was one of the first people I spoke to after learning about it and she brought up that day from so long ago watching the show and she just gave me a hug and told me how sorry she was that he was gone. Thanks for the memories Stan. We miss you!

Stan was a great fit in the role of a young apprentice immortal, growing into a world no one could go into fully prepared.

Also had one of the too 5, for me, emotional moments in t.v..

RIP

WOW...I did not know that he died or how. Sorry for your lost. My favorite Stan Kirsch Highlander episode was when he befriended a mentally challenged immortal and has to protect him. The subject hits home for me.

I was so sad to hear of Stan's passing. He was such an integral part of the series. Resquiet in Pace, Stan Kirsh.

Thank you for sharing. Still can't believe he's gone.

I just found out a few minutes ago that Stan took is own life. This was the first video I came across. Highlander was a big part of my life and is still my favorite television show. Thank you Adrian for your kind words. Stan will definitely be missed.

I always loved the scene in season 2 when you were teaching “Richie” how to fight out on a cliff. He was so talented and entertaining! The two of you seemed to have a genuine connection. I’m so sorry about the loss of your friend but it sounds like you have some amazing memories to keep him alive in your heart. RIP Stan

This was a tough one. The show was such a big adventure, and it really meant a lot to me. Losing Stan was like losing one of the Highlander family.

[yochanacoleman]

I remember years ago asking you about practical jokes on the set, and you laughed and said, "Ask Stan!"

[commanderwilliamtriker]

Stan was the Richie gave the Highlander world a lot of sunshine and we he was gone, we all lost one of the best. I hope Stan is smiling and finally at peace. Blessings to his great soul and to his wife, God bring her peace.

I would agree that Stan’s laugh was unique to him. I recall when the series started I thought the Richie character would annoy me. But the humor that Stan put into him with that younger brother vibe quickly made me enjoy seeing him in episodes. When he became immortal he grew even more on me.

Hope to hear more wonderful stories about him.

I also grew up with the Highlander tv series. I am still watching it till today. Each time I watch an episode I feel as if Richie Ryan could have taken over the series. He was a really good actor. I wish he had been able to reach out to his friends before he passed away. To let them know how much he needed their support. It is heartbreaking to hear of his passing. He will be forever missed! Stan keep going strong in spirit.

I loved and still do love Highlander. I was so saddened when I heard he died.

[uncleruckusnorelation]

that was a very kind thing to say about him. Most High Bless you and your family and Stan Kirsch is in peace.

[orioncrawford]

He was one of the reasons why I love the series 🤦‍♂️💯💫RIP
