It has been reported that actor Michael Lerner has died at the age of 81. Michael was best known for his signature role in the movie Barton Fink and also was in Will Farrell's Elf. I don't know what the cause of death was but this is a truly sad loss in Hollywood. Michael Lerner was a true genius and his style will never be forgotten in movies

He was excellent in Barton Fink.

And he was definitely no stranger to horror films as he was in the 1983 horror/scifi Strange Invaders, the 1982 horror spoof Class Reunion, plus Maniac Cop 2, and Omen IV. But his most memorable horror outing was 1987's Anguish, with Zelda Rubenstein as his mother.
