AUSTIN, Texas — A man who allegedly told police he stole a car and believed the owner was dead was charged with killing a Texas actor.

Austin police Friday identified the victim as 67-year-old Lou Perryman.

Perryman appeared in "The Blues Brothers," "Boys Don't Cry" and "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town."

Police charged 26-year-old Seth Christopher Tatum with capital murder, plus aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in another attack.

Sgt. Joseph Chacon says Tatum showed up at a jail facility Thursday and said he was "pretty sure" he had killed the owner of a vehicle he had stolen. Police later found Perryman's body at a home.

Investigators say they do not believe Tatum and Perryman knew each other.

A jail official didn't know whether Tatum had an attorney.

Horrible story. I know him best as L.G. in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. RIP Lou.

Lou Perryman was great in TCM II; provided great comic relief. This is a senseless and tragic act.
He was also in Poltergeist.

Yeah, they are really bizarre coincidences, but I don't believe in the whole curse thing.

So sad. It reminds me of the Ennis Cosby tragedy. Wrong place, wrong time.
