Tell me a “supporting actor” of a big movie who has died, and I probably wouldn’t know

We all know when a big celeb dies, but often not supporting actors, even those who have stared in big movies.

I’ll start, Rick Ducommun, died 2015 (age 62).He starred in The Burbs and Groundhog Day.

I’m not really interested in deaths due to old age, more people who died relatively young.

Thanks!

Depends if it was attached with adhesive, if so, it would be in the report. It would be considered prosthetic hair.

Victor Wong (grandpa in 3 Ninjas) died September 12, 2001.

Even if he was more famous his death wouldn't have made the news on that day.
