    In 1996, a magazine published an article detailing this actor's robbery-related death at the hands of an "unemployed dinner theater stagehand" and meticulously reconstructed the final years of his life, including his work on an uncompleted independent film. The story was an hoax, concocted by the actor's childhood friend who worked at the magazine, and helped along with the actor's cooperation.
