Fred Willard, the prolific comic actor and master of the mockumentary genre who stood out in ensemble comedies like Best in Show, For Your Consideration and This Is Spinal Tap, has died at the age of 86.

Willard’s rep Glenn Schwartz confirmed his death to Rolling Stone, adding that the cause of death was natural causes.


What an incredible career.

Dude was a legend.

Didn't he get arrested for beating off in a movie theater?

I used to like his Sniglets. I remember that he created the word “Blemis” to describe the foam at the top of the water when you boil hotdogs.

Man, I just looked at his IMDB page. He stayed busy until the end. Everything from tv to animated shows and movies. Hell of a career.

Was just listening to Patton Oswald on the Pardon My Take podcast talk about how amazing of an actor Willard is.
