Maybe you know Joseph Sikora. He's been in stuff like Ozark and the Starz drama Power.
In Power, he played Tommy Egan, the best friend of the show's protagonist, Ghost. The series ran for six seasons before ending in 2020 with Ghost's tragic and untimely death.
So, recently, someone saw Joseph looking somber in public and took a picture. The photo was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, where a user joked that Joseph was "still sad about Ghost."
Joseph ended up seeing the tweet, and, unfortunately, he was grieving a death — in real life.
Joseph wrote: "I'm a human being. Asshole. Probably crying a little. I just had gotten word that my dear friend and Teamster on Power, Bobby Scanlon passed away from pancreatic cancer. A Hell's Kitchen native. He was a good man."
He also said, "Fuck you for being a creep."

Many readers offered their condolences to Joseph, leaving heartfelt messages in the comment section.
One person wrote, "This is why people need to mind their business and stop taking pictures of strangers. So sorry for your loss & invasion of privacy."

Joseph also continued to remember his friend in the replies, noting: "He is survived by his wife, who was an usher on Broadway for many years. He was an avid reader and a lover of plants."
Thanks Lynda. He is survived by his wife, who was an usher on Broadway for many years. He was an avid reader and a lover of plants.
It's just another example of why to never joke about someone else's appearance. You never know what people are going through. Sorry for your loss, Joseph, and condolences to Bobby's family.
