[Victor Mildew]

Jerry Stiller gone.

I had no idea he was Ben Stiller's dad

I think someone pointed this out to me years ago when watching them both in Zoolander but yeah I think in general it's not a link that people would necessarily make!

If only there was a clue in their surname.....

I didn't know he was called Jerry stiller, I only recognised him from searching just now to see who it was. I think I've only seen him in zoolander, but I'm sure I must have seen him in other things.

He's done all sorts, but yeah Seinfeld is probably the thing most would recognise him from. Might have to do a re-watch of it now in his honour!

[Choclet-Milk]

Seinfeld is the obvious choice, but I've never watched much of it, so I don't really associate him with it. I watched plenty of King of Queens when I was younger, though. Steaming bag o' shite though it was, it's saving grace was Jerry Stiller.

[Godzilla]

He was amazing in Seinfeld and did so much with only a couple of lines per episode. Obvious highlights were

Festivus,
Serenity Now!
Stop short,
Million to one shot doc , a million to one
The man bra

The full 9 seasons are on 4 on Demand. Hasn't aged a day.

The wife was hot...I think the actress (Leah Rimini or something like that) got wrapped up in scientology and lived to tell the tale.

[Choclet-Milk]

Yeah, I think she did a documentary about her experience not too long ago.

[Vermilion]

Just looked at his filmography, he's been in even more stuff than i first realised.

[Corazon de Leon]

Yeah he always popped up in stuff like Anchorman as well.

[Robbo-92]

Thought he was great in Modern Family as well.

[kazanova_Frankenstein]

He was 86? Wow.

[Memento Mori]

Apparently Des O'Connor is still alive. I'm stunned.

I feel you've somewhat missed the point of this thread.

Just early.

Willie Thorne has died.

I'm pretty gutted about this. He used to live in the same village as me, I served him in my shop quite a few times.

As a child I always found it amusing when the commentators would say "Willie" during the snooker. I'm sure his name was said more than anyone else's

A few of us here once played in a poker tournament that he was also in, but I don't think any of us actually ended up on the same table.
