Porn star Jerry Butler, 58, supposedly of pancreatic cancer. He worked a lot in the 70s and early 80s, then wrote a book, Raw Talent, which pissed off a lot of people in the business, so work kinda dried up. Apparently, he moved back to the East Coast after that and became a bus driver in Brooklyn. He was married to Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday Addams on The Addams Family TV show.

John Mahoney was also great as the Faulkner character in Barton Fink - “Where’s my honey?” - and as the out-of-tune dad singing along to “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” in Say Anything.

I could have sworn Mahoney died years ago. I must be thinking of another similar-looking character actor.

Great comment about Mahoney
A great actor, gentle man and wonderfully private person in our celebrity-nutty world, telling me some 20 years ago, "I used to crave publicity. I now turn almost everything down. I would rather walk across broken glass." https://t.co/L9QkwwwNQf— Rick kogan (@rickkogan) February 5, 2018

I first saw him (I think) in his Tony-winning role in this John Guare revival, opposite Swoosie Kurtz and 20-y.o. Ben Stiller. Great production, you can probably find the TV version shown on PBS somewhere.

He was less than 15 years older than Kelsey Grammer.
Mahoney's character in THoBL was the world's worst songwriter, his wife (Kurtz) mentally ill, and his son planning to assassinate Pope Paul. So it was a "new theatre" black comedy, especially when the first production flopped in 1971.
