A Tribute To Glenn Shadix
Hello i'm Monstermaster13 and welcome to another one of my tributes. I've paid tribute to two very well known big guys in showbiz who are unfortunately no longer with this - John Belushi and John Candy.
And now i'm going to pay a tribute to another big guy, one that Tim Burton fans will definitely recognize by name and voice.
Of course i'm talking about Glenn Shadix. For those not in the know, Glenn appeared in many movies and tv shows in the 80's and 90's but he's most known for playing the role of a certain interior designer and 'paranormal expert' in the hit movie Beetlejuice.
The character of course is - Otho Fenlock or "Round Boy" as Beetlejuice calls him. And I admit he did brilliantly in this performance and easily my second favorite character in the film next to BJ himself and Lydia of course.
Aside from this he also had several appearances in animated tv series and live action shows as well as appearing in several other films.
He also voiced the Mayor in Nightmare Before Christmas, also reprising the part for Kingdom Hearts II and Oogie's Revenge.
He was in a couple of episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, as a giant named Typhon and his brother Typhoon. He played both of them.
In 2010 he passed away from a fall at his condo in Alabama, and his death is one of the many that affected me personally as even though I haven't seen everything he was in, from what i've heard he sounded like a wonderful person.
I hope that his family and friends are all remembering how amazing he was and that others here will also remember him fondly.
We truly lost a great and memorable actor and hopefully his memory will live on in everyone's hearts including the hearts of Burton fans everywhere.
So here's to you, Mr Shadix. *dances to the Banana Boat song*
