RIP Taylor Negron (1 Viewer)

One of those strange things in life: his cousin Chuck Negron was the lead singer in Three Dog Night and had a lot of drug issues and run-ins with the law - and he's still kicking at age 72. Taylor seemed to be a pretty regular guy who kept his nose clean and he's the one that dies of cancer relatively young.

 
Great write-up on Grantland really nails his talent:

He knew how to unlock the full potential of each of his moments near the spotlight; something about the way he moved and spoke imbued all of his mailmen and pizza guys and waiters with rich, possibly depraved inner lives, as if they’d just wandered into this situation from circumstances weirder than you could possibly imagine. As the comedian and Mystery Science Theater 3000 writer J. Elvis Weinstein said on Twitter the night Negron died, “He always seemed to me like he knew some really big secret that no one else did,” which was a perfect way of putting it.
Excellent depiction.

In his Mr. Pizza Guy scene, I always got a kick at the derisive, F U demeanor he had towards Mr. Hand and Spicoli when he was getting his tip.
