Jay Thomas completes the funny man triple fatality. He worked a lot but never made it too big. I remember his short lived sitcom Married People from over 20 years ago.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office said it was reported as a natural death.

Like they were expecting a chainsaw accident.

Oh man , I was a big fan of his work, especially on the original Swamp Thing. I went back and bought the whole run a few years ago, great stuff...

"Repo Man's got all night, every night!"

"He had a gun on me, Duke, there was nothing I could do."

 

Literally one of my favorite actors ever. Guy had major roles in 2 of my Top 5 all time movies - Repo Man and Escape from New York. And Alien is close behind. And The Godfather II. And Red Dawn. That dude was in practically everything. And was great.

Sadness...
