I have just been informed that Edgar Metcalf is in hospital after being diagnosed with Liver Cancer. For those that wish to know, he is currently in Royal Perth Hospital Ward G6. He cannot receive flowers at this time. He has been given two weeks. I'm sure that for all whom have worked with him over the years that our best wishes and hopes go with him.

Ah, no. Strength to him and his family - I really enjoy his writing. Must have seen some of his in high school for English Lit in 83 & 84.

Such sad news. Glad to have worked on a few shows with him, an quiet, unassuming gentleman. Peace to him and his family.
