Leslie Carlson, yet another Oh That Guy actor, has died at the age of 81 a week ago on May 4. His credits include
Lost Girl, Plague City: SARS in Toronto, Anonymous Rex, Tribulation Force, Odyssey 5, The X-Files, Highlander, The Girl from Mars, Twilight Zone [1988], War of the Words [TV series], The Fly [1986], The Dead Zone, Videodrome and
The Neptune Factor. Born in South Dakota, he emigrated to Canada in the late 1960s and became a favorite of David Cronenberg. He played the main villain in
Videodrome, pictured here, and is also known for his role in the cult horror film
Black Christmas, directed by Bob Clark, who left the horror genre to direct such successful mainstream films as
Porky's (boo) and
A Christmas Story (yay!).
Best wishes to the family and friends of Leslie Carlson, from a fan. He is never to be forgotten.
