RIP, Vincent Schiavelli. A classic gloomy-faced character actor, I’ll remember him for his appearance in Buckaroo Banzai (as John O’Connor), and, more recently, as the politely professional killer, Dr. Kaufman, in Tomorrow Never Dies… along with eleventy-dozen other movies and TV shows appearances.

Or for me…
The wacky teacher Icon from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Better Off Dead.
Tomorrow Never Dies and a Star Trek : TNG episode where he is a weapons peddler is where I tend to remember him.
Jenny Calendar’s Uncle Janos on Buffy.
I remember all of those (and more).
Wow, I had no idea he’d died. I’m just catching up here…
I remember him from all of those, too. I also recall him in some weird 80s horror stuff, I think.
Schiavelli did too many things to be classified as a genre actor, but he certainly did appear in a lot of “weird 80s horror stuff.”
