Glenn Shadix Dies at 58
September 8, 2010 Comments
Character actor and convention fixture Glenn Shadix, best known for his role as interior designer Otho in Tim Burton's 1988 classic Beetlejuice, died yesterday. The Birmingham News reports the 58-year-old actor had been having mobility problems, and seemingly hit his head in a fall in his Alabama condo. Shadix is credited with over 75 roles, and is also credited with teaching me what viridian is ("BLUE-GREEN: hydrated chromic oxide"). Never forget.
