RIP: Michael Jeter

[Brian in Mesa]

Michael Jeter passed away over the weekend at his home in the Hollywood Hills. He was 50.

He was in a ton of movies and tv shows, but recently I remember him most from Patch Adams (afraid the squirrels were going to get him), Air Bud (original owner of the dog, was abusive to the dog), and the Green Mile (his only real friend was the mouse).

Cause of death is not known according to the press, but he publicly announced he was HIV+ in 1997.

Good actor, he'll be missed.

Del was a great character (from Green Mile)

He first came to prominence in the old Burt Reynolds television show "Evening Shade" and has played bit parts in dozens of movies.
