Based on suggestions from past podcast guests and Rehearsal Room participants, I created this “In Memoriam” video.
I wanted to highlight artists that might not appear in other montages; there may be some overlap, but while most aren’t household names, they still spent their lives as working actors and artists.
It features 35 artists who left us in 2023-2024; the names are listed below as well as in the description or caption of the video. I really appreciate everyone who sent in names of colleagues, and I imagine some will know at least a few if not many of the people included.
It was an honor and joy to put this together; I learned quite a bit about all these amazing careers out there. I hope to keep making these.
Artists included in the video:
- Ken Page
- Gloria Stroock
- Bill Bushnell
