[R.I.P.] ‘Day of the Dead’ Actor Gary Klar Has Passed Away
We’ve learned the sad news this afternoon via the George A. Romero Foundation that Gary Klar, known to horror fans for his role in Day of the Dead, has passed away at the age of 73.
Klar played Steel in Romero’s 1985 classic, one of the film’s memorable human antagonists.
The George A. Romero Foundation wrote over on Facebook, “It is with great sadness that we here at The GARF mark the passing of Gary Klahr. Gary needs no introduction to Romero fans, having so iconically played Private Steele in Day of the Dead, bringing his unique acting abilities to the role, making George A. Romero‘s dialogue so quotable.
“Gary also had memorable turns in other fan favourites such as Trading Places, Big, and Quick Change.
“We hope the love from the Romero family of fans and friends will give strength to the Klahr family at this painful time. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and hearts.”
Gary Howard Klar, born in 1947 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was an Olympic weightlifter at one point in his life, and he also had a career in both college and professional football.
Klar’s acting credits also include the films A Stranger is Watching, Legal Eagles, Three Men and a Baby, Married to the Mob, Pink Cadillac, Quick Change and Hackers.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
