It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Darren Shahlavi, well known by the community for his role as Kano in Mortal Kombat: Legacy, has passed away. News of the actor’s death has been scarce. No details have surfaced other than his passing this morning, and that his death was unexpected. This marks the second time that an actor who had played Kano has died long before his time, the former example being the death of Trevor Goddard in 2003.

He later added that his contribution to the title wrapped up quickly, indicating that his role (whatever it may be) will be fairly minor. I did Mortal Kombat, and that’s such a huge game, but it’s so not like [MGS5].Kiefer Sutherland Kiefer Sutherland is set to reprise his iconic role as Jack Bauer this May on FOX in 24: Live Another Day.

Although it’s Christmas day, I had a little spare time so I decided to get the Wallpaper section up. You will find 6 Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and 25 Mortal Kombat: Deception wallpapers available in a range of screen resolutions.
