Name Some Supporting Actors Who Have Passed Recently

[MEHEARTJC]

While everyone knows about actors like Patrick Swayze dying, often we forget about the actors in supporting roles who really add flavor to a great movie. Every now and then, I check on IMDB to be surprised and sadden that a particular actor is no longer with us. Here are a few examples:


Vincent Schiavelli - died in 2005. This guy is instantly recognizable as he played in numerous movies. He had a dead pan look and played creepy characters. I remember him best as the subway ghost in Ghost who teaches Patrick Swayze how to push a coin.


Richard Paul - died in 1998. I remember him best as perfectly portraying Jerry Fawell in The People vs Larry Flynt.


Lane Smith - died in 1995. Very sad to find out he died. I loved his roles in Son and Law and My Cousin Vinny.
