Spike TV to Honor the Late Patrick Swayze

Spike TV will celebrate the work of the late Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze in one of his cult-classic roles in the film Road House this Saturday, September 19 (10:00 PM - 12:30 AM, ET/PT). This special movie telecast will also include a special tribute to the Golden Globe-nominated actor who died yesterday at age 57 due to pancreatic cancer.

Spike's telecast of Road House will include a short tribute to the actor. Spike.com will feature its own tribute where fans can post their own messages or favorite Swayze movie moments at Spike.com.

Road House was released May 19th, 1989 and stars Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, Sam Elliott, Ben Gazzara, Marshall R. Teague, Julie Michaels, Red West, Sunshine Parker. The film is directed by Rowdy Herrington.

    Well Newkill,I guess you and I have something else to agree on.Alot of people think Road House is his best work I on the other hand believe Point Break was.I watched that and Road House at least a dozen times the day he died.

    now, look, I'm a fan of Road House as the next person, but the best way to pay a tribute is put his best work up there, which is Point Break.
