in memoriam
Folks, I'd just noticed that word has reached the World Wide Web regarding the passing of long-time character actor Bruce French (1945-2025). Actually, it looks like he passed a few months back, but I'm only just seeing it being reported fairly recently.
As I often point out, a great many of the talent I feature in this space might not exactly be known commodities. It takes an incredible number of actors, actresses, writers, directors, and more to bring any production to life; and I've always had a fondness for familiar faces, not just those big names attached to a bigger film or television series. French certainly qualifies in that respect, as his professional resume on IMDB.com shows he leaves behind a legacy of over 150 different screen appearances.
Genre fans might know of the man through his work aboard such properties as:
Though he's no longer with us, we'll always have the work he leaves behind to remember him by.
Our warmest prayers are extended to the family, friends, and fans of Bruce French.
May he rest in peace ...
