Character actor Michael Parks passed away May 9th at the age of 77. I feel ashamed to admit that I didn't really know the name, but I sure knew the face.
He's be in a ton of stuff, but I know him as the Texas Ranger in From Dust til Dawn, the Sheriff in Deathproof and Planet Terror as well as roles in the Kill Bill movies.
He was also in We Are What We Are and Red State directed by Kevin Smith.
No cause of death released yet, condolences to his family and friends. He'll be missed.

I knew the name right away, and this is sad to read. I love how his character in those movies as the Sheriff bridge all together in a loosely put together single universe for Rodriguez and Tarantino.

Always thought it was cool how he played the same character in Death Proof and Planet Terror. Really liked him in We Are What We Are, because that was the first time I had seen him not as the law enforcement guy.
Way different role and he was perfect. RIP.
