Celebrities or actors you thought were dead... but weren't

I'll start.

Jan-Michael Vincent, at one time the highest paid TV actor for Air Wolf. Appeared alongside the likes of Charles Bronson and Burt Reynolds back in the day, usually as the cocky up-and-coming kid who threatens the status of the older, wiser male.

I was sure he had died years ago from drug abuse, but, nope, turns out he's still alive. He's looks like hell, is broke and is a physical mess from drugs and motorcycle accidents... but he ain't dead yet.

Jan Michael Vincent was huge for a time. I'm old enough to remember this.

He was pretty popular there for awhile, he had it all at the time. But he quickly flushed it down the toilet.

On the opposite side, you'd think Norman Lloyd would have left us by now, but no. He's 103!

For many years I thought Paul Young, the British musician, was dead. Only just recently I discovered he's still alive. I can't even remember what made me think that he was dead, it was that long ago.

Thought for sure Ed Asner was dead but I saw him just pop up in a promo for something the other day.

Is Abe Vigoda still alive, I remember last time I checked he was even though I thought he wasn't

He did, in fact, finally pass away in January 2016. He was 94.
