Over the course of a career that stretched back to 1967, Peter Jason racked up more than 270 screen acting credits, turning in performances that inspired legendary filmmaker John Carpenter to name him “one of the great character actors in cinema” – and to cast him in seven different projects: Prince of Darkness, They Live, Body Bags, In the Mouth of Madness, Village of the Damned, Escape from L.A., and Ghosts of Mars. Sadly, Carpenter has now had to take to social media to break the news to his fans and followers that Jason has passed away at the age of 80. Carpenter wrote, “His first movie was Howard Hawks’ Rio Lobo. He was a dear friend and I’ll miss him terribly.“

It is true that the 1970 film Rio Lobo was Jason’s first theatrical feature, but he already had three years of TV acting to his name at that point, with credits...

An influential performer to comedians including Tina Fey, Garr was a familiar face in dozens of TV shows and films of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. The actress revealed in 2002 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and she suffered an aneurysm in 2006.

When you sit back and think about how the concept which gave birth to Batman Beyond could’ve otherwise panned out, it’s very possible the project may have ended up being a train wreck. After all, when Bruce Timm and his colleagues were called into network executive offices over twenty years ago and were told to develop a show about a “teenage Batman,” the whole thing could’ve easily spiraled out of control.

And as fate would have it, one of the most beloved and original DC animated shows ever created came out the other end of the aforementioned meeting.
