R.I.P. Prolific Actor Miguel Ferrer Has Passed Away

Published

Today we’re sad to report that Miguel Ferrer lost his battle with cancer. He was 61.

A prolific and totally unmistakable actor with well over 100 films and television shows on his resume, Ferrer made a handful of stops in the horror genre throughout his career, notably appearing in Stephen King adaptations The Stand and The Night Flier. He also starred in three episodes of “Tales from the Crypt” in the early ’90s, and did uncredited voicework on the 1997 mini-series iteration of “The Shining.” Of course, Ferrer is known to many genre fans as FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield in “Twin Peaks,” a role he reprised for Showtime’s upcoming revival of the series.

One of Ferrer’s earliest breakout roles saw him play the sleazy Bob Morton in RoboCop, and he’s perhaps best known to the masses thanks to his extended starring roles in shows like “Crossing Jordan” and “NCIS: Los Angeles.” He spent much of his career on the small screen, also recurring on “Desperate Housewives,” “The Protector,” and “Bionic Woman.”

Miguel Ferrer, the son of Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney, and cousin of George Clooney, is survived by his wife Lori, sons Lukas and Rafi, and siblings Maria, Gabriel, Monsita, and Rafael.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
