James Rebhorn wrote his own obituary

Homeland actor James Rebhorn wrote his own obituary which has been posted on his church's website in New Jersey.

Late actor James Rebhorn is having the last word.

The character actor who appeared in Homeland penned his own obituary that appeared on his church's website in New Jersey.

Rebhorn, a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Jersey City, died on Friday at age 65 of skin cancer.

He wrote that without his wife and two daughters "his life would have been little more than a vapor." He also urged his children to mourn him only as long as necessary, because "they have much good work to do, and they should get busy doing it."

Rebhorn concluded that he was a lucky man in every way.
