More sad news from Hollywood, especially for fans of Tim Burton's movies, with the announcement of the death of Glenn Shadix. Glenn was another example of the great character actors out there, that never get the spotlight, but manage to bring the screen to life in every scene they touch, Beetlejuice being a prime example of this. RIP, you will live on through your work, entertaining people for decades to come.
Bessemer native Glenn Shadix, a Hollywood character actor best known for his role as Otho the interior decorator in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice," died this morning following a fall at his Birmingham condo, a family member said today.
Mr. Shadix, who appeared in more than 70 films and TV shows, was 58.
Besides his breakthrough role as the outlandish Otho in "Beetlejuice" in 1988, Mr. Shadix appeared in two more movies for the writer-director Burton, doing the voice of the mayor in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" in 1993 and playing the orangutan Senator Nado in Burton's 2001 remake of the sci-fi classic "Planet of the Apes."
