RIP
I remember his son John on the 3rd season of Project Greenlight when he won that job to direct Feast. And then John cast Clu in a small part in the movie. I had no idea who Clu was and that he had a long career as an actor. I was surprised they ended up making 3 Feast movies and John directed all 3.

One of those actors whose face one recognizes more than his name, though his name sure is a memorably odd one. RIP.

He was in the 1964 version of The Killers with Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, and Ronald Reagan. Good movie. (Directed by the legendary Don Siegel, who was originally supposed to direct the 1946 version of the movie!)

Return of the Living Dead has been one of my favorite movies for over 30 years. Clu and James Karen are both magnificent in it. I love how strong and distinct Clu Gulager's voice is in his films, always a delight when he pops up. It was great to see him as the book store owner in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Hope he had a good life.
