If you forgive this site its bizarro interface -- and I'm not saying you necessarily should -- then Dead or Alive Info is a resource that will help you settle that nagging question: What about that guy who played...? For example, is the guy who played Commissioner Gordon in every "Batman" movie alive or dead? Well, the happy face by Pat Hingle's name indicates that he's doing well -- though the list is silent on Michael Gough, the only other actor in all four movies to date, who played Alfred.
The site has more nice features than other similar-themed sites you might find, tools like birthday lists, fun quizzes and a chart that compares the frequency of different causes of death. There are famous folks from sports and business as well, but the entertainment section is comprehensive enough in itself to answer most trivia disputes.
Gough's OK, too, by the way.
