RIP character actor Michael J. Pollard, remembered for roles in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, and all sorts of other films and tv shows, watch enough vintage television and he'll pop up when you least expect it. Most probably remember his appearance on Star Trek.

I was just watching Bonnie & Clyde last night.

Wasn't he the homeless guy in Scrooged? The one that freezes in the sewer?

Goodbye to Ron Leibman. You may know him as Ron Cadillac from Archer, if you're awesome, or as Rachel's father on Friends, if you're lame. I'm probably the only person who remembers him as Kaz on a single-season series of that name. Class act, good husband, quick wit.

Gotta love a dude who has multiple nominations for both Emmys/Golden Globes and Razzies. And a dude who was Ron Cadillac, or course

I'd forgotten he was also Jessica Walter's husband

Interestingly enough, cursory research shows he won an emmy for Kaz despite it only lasting one season.

He's not dead yet, but after seeing Tommy Lee Jones yesterday he doesn't look like he's going to make it past 2020

If you have seen Sesame Street in recent years it's like 90% Elmo and that stupid fairy muppet he pals around with. So I fully support your sentiment.

Christ, Elmo was awful enough when I was in the target demographic.

Cookie Monster neutered, Big Bird and my nigga Oscar dead, what next? Bert troons out?

It's basically been the Elmo show for years now. Pretty sure everything else has been relegated to small breaks from Elmo by this point.

I think the latest was they're adding an autistic muppet soon if they haven't already.

Big Bird is FUCKING DEAD.

Hmmm....

His last credited appearance was the 50th anniversary special where he cameo'd in the final song striving through his sickness. That man was a fucking trooper. One of the last of the living OG Muppeteers is dead aside from Frank Oz.
