http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._tv/actor_shot
I remember him as Drew Carey's neighbor. RIP.
NEW YORK - An actor who has appeared on episodes of "E.R." and "The Drew Carey (news) Show" was shot twice by his father while he was eating lunch, police said.
Vincent Ford Jr., 42, who uses the professional name Keith Diamond, had flown home to Queens to visit his ailing mother, police said. He was eating in the family's kitchen Sunday afternoon when his father, Vincent Ford Sr., 81, walked in and shot him in the chin and torso, police said.
Ford Jr. was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition Sunday night, said Detective Bernard Gifford, a police spokesman.
Police arrested Ford Sr. on charges of first-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon. A .32-caliber revolver was found at the scene.
The motive in the shooting was unknown, but neighbors said Ford Sr. suffered from Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites) or dementia, according to published reports.
Beside his television work, Ford Jr. has appeared in such feature films as "Dr. Giggles" (1992) and "Biker Boyz" (2003).

That's an old reference, but at least one other person gets it and thought it was funny.

"Oh Keith Diamond, you shall have not died in vain."
"I'm not quite dead, sir."
"Oh, Keith Diamond, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain..."
"Actually, sir I'm getting better."
