Another one of those, "you may not recognize his name but you'll know him when you see his picture" folks.

James Karen, the instantly recognizable character actor ...

Actually no.

This guy could literally be any one of a hundred character actors.

The original Poltergeist still remains one of my favorite scary movies. It was just so well done.

YOU DIDN'T MOVE THE BODIES!

Enjoyed his work. He was actually encouraged by a Congressman (Dan Flood of PA) to go into acting. Good advice. RIP, Mr. Karen.

Absolutely. He was one of those guys who I saw on seemingly on every major TV show in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and yet I didn’t know his name.

He was “Mr. Pathmark” in the northeast for most of my life. Now both are gone.

I watched Wall Street for the umpteenth time yesterday. James was “Mr. Lynch”, Bud Fox’s boss at “Jackson Steinem”. A very fine actor. R.I.P.

He was a piece of work in "Return of the Living Dead". I'll stop and run the scene again and again when he calls the boss to tell him about the "accident" in the basement.

(1:35) We have a little problem

Some other neat clips (1:25): "BRAINS!" **

What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen

**The director said to get the skinniest actor they could find for the zombie guy. The one they brought in was SO skinny the had to pad him to make him look skeletonized.

Well, he lived long enough we won’t count him among the cursed, like Dominique Dunne (1959-1982) or Heather O’Rourke (1975-1983).

Zela (”Head towards the light!”) eventually died (at age 76 in 2010), but she was often counted among the cursed long before her death. (She stayed out of the limelight, though, so became a small medium at large.)

Oddly, the Mom (Jo Beth Williams) was often cited among the killed, even though she had a fairly prolific acting career afterwards.

Craig T Nelson was also cited among the cursed, for his problems with drugs. But they pre-dated his work with Poltergeist, and then he cleaned himself up, so... maybe he was blessed?
