Peter Jason Dead at 80
Bummer news. He was a John Carpenter & Walter Hill regular for a long time.
A while back I was watching Tommy Boy and a whole bunch of Farley’s facial expressions and speech patterns reminded me of Peter Jason. Now I can’t un-see it.

Wow, that's a bummer!
His audio commentary with John Carpenter on Prince of Darkness is hilarious.
I used to date a girl whose dad looked just like him, too.

Name didn't ring a bell. I saw a pic of him and then it clicked.

I called my friend to tell him as he's as big a Carpenter fan as me. We were also talking about the PoD commentary.

He was also Con Stapleton on Deadwood, providing some much appreciated humor.
Condolences to his family.

Oh, that guy.
I never knew his name, but saw him a lot and always remembered him.
Bummer. I liked that guy.
