[killersheep]

This actor, along with two children, was killed in 1982 during filming of Twilight Zone: The Movie. What was his name and how did he die?

Bonus Question: How did they know he had dandruff?

bump, no-one has answered.

It was big news when it happened. Anyways, the actor was Vic Morrow. They were filming a scene that involved a low flying helicopter, there was some kind of accident, and Morrow's body got in the way of the chopper blades.

So how did they know he had dandruff then?
