Incertainty that once gave scope to dream
Of laughing enterprise and glory untold,
Is now a blackness that no stars redeem.

Veteran TV cinematographer Denny Hall died Thursday morning after suffering a heart attack while working in New Orleans on Common Law, an upcoming scripted series for USA Network. He was 54.
A source close to the production told The Hollywood Reporter that Hall had chest pains while in his condo early Thursday and his camera operator called 911. Paramedics worked on him there and in the ambulance but couldn’t revive him. Hall had been in New Orleans for a couple of weeks.
Producer Karim Zreik called the cinematographer the “captain of the team. We are just broken-hearted.”
“He could walk into a room that was deathly quiet or filled with negative energy and immediately liven everything up,” said cinematographer John C. Flinn III, who took Hall with him as his assistant on the 1980s TV shows Magnum, P.I. and Jake and the Fatman. “He was a great first assistant, a great cameraman and a great cinematographer. I’m so proud of him.”
Common Law, from CBS Television Studios, stars Michael Ealy and Warren Kole as cop partners who don't get along, so their captain sends them to couples therapy. Jon Turteltaub directed the pilot, and USA ordered 11 episodes in July.
A member of the International Cinematographers Guild, Hall also worked on such series as Burn Notice, Franklin & Bash, Eastwick, The Cleaner, Eli Stone, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Bones and Jack and Bobby.
He also served as a camera operator since the late 1980s on the shows Nashville Beat, Diagnosis Murder, Beverly Hills, 90210, CSI: Miami and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and on the 1996 film Barb Wire.
Hall is survived by his wife Julie and son Noah.

Gale Herbert Gillingham (February 3, 1944 — October 20, 2011), was a guard in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers.
Gillingham was born in Madison, Wisconsin. He attended the University of Minnesota, where he was a classmate of future Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Aaron Brown, whom he faced in Super Bowl I.
In his rookie season, he alternated as the starter at left guard with veteran Fuzzy Thurston. During the 1967 season, he took Thurston's spot full-time, opposite perennial All-Pro Jerry Kramer. He started the Ice Bowl and Super Bowl II, coach Vince Lombardi's final games after nine seasons with the team.
Gillingham was the last member of the Lombardi-era Packers to be active with the franchise. By time he retired, Bart Starr, whom he blocked for when Starr was leading the Packers to victories in the first two Super Bowls, was the team's coach. Gillingham was a five-time Pro Bowler (1969, '70, '71, 73 and '74), six-time All Pro, and a two-time NFL First Team All Pro (1969 and '70).
Gillingham died in Little Falls, Minnesota, age 67, survived by his three sons and one daughter. His oldest son, Karl, is a Professional Strongman and has competed in two Worlds Strongest Man competitions. Middle son, Brad, is a 5 time World Champion powerlifter with several National and World Records. Youngest son, Wade, is a former Professional Strongman and is widely regarded as having one of the best grips in the world.
