Irwin Keyes, character actor who worked with Coens, dies aged 63

Irwin Keyes, the veteran character actor best known for his scene-stealing performance as Wheezy Joe in Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2003 dark comedy Intolerable Cruelty, has died aged 63.

Keyes died on Wednesday in Playa del Rey, California, according to the Hollywood Reporter, of complications from acromegaly, an abnormal growth of the hands, feet and face, caused by overproduction of growth hormone by the pituitary gland.

The New York City-born actor made his film debut in the 1979 action thriller The Warriors, and went on to work with Woody Allen in Stardust Memories and Rob Zombie in the 2003 horror House of 1000 Corpses, in addition to his collaboration with the Coen brothers. Keyes also memorably played Joe Rockhead in the 1994 live-action adaptation of The Flintstones and its 2000 sequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. He also starred as bodyguard Hugo Mojelewski in the beloved series The Jeffersons.

Zombie remembered the actor on his official Facebook page, writing: “He will be missed by us all.”

Keyes is survived by his wife of seven years, Tracy Fontaine.

I thought this was very cool!

A Talking USB Car Charger That Looks Like KITT’s Voice Box From the Classic TV Series ‘Knight Rider’

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday in Minneapolis of a yeast infection and traumatic complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not regarded as a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and served as a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 min.

Because this thread is just too depressing sometimes.
