Charlie's Angels (2019): John Forsythe (the voice of Charlie) passed away at the age of 92 in 2010 and thus, Charlie apparently died and his successor is a woman using a voice changer to sound like him. ![]() Every Halloween installment in continuity with the original Halloween (1978) afterward, such as Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and Halloween (2018), had Loomis already deceased with Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis) taking up his role as Michael Myers's Arch-Enemy. Sam Loomis apparently dies offscreen at the end of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers Theatrical Cut due to Donald Pleasence's death in 1995 (in the Producer's Cut, he lives and only screams because he is now cursed by the Mark of Thorn).That put the idea of Henry showing up alive in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to rest almost immediately. There'd been talks about hoping to convince Connery to return-and for Henry to be Faking the Dead-for the next movie for years, but then he passed away in 2020 at age 90. Henry Jones was said to have passed away in Crystal Skull as well-Indy also having a picture of him on his desk-but Connery was only retired at the time. Indy also has a picture of him on his desk, showing Brody during Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (in a moment when he was lost so how the picture was taken is a bit of a mystery). A statue honoring Brody, on the Marshall College's grounds, is shown, and the character's death was written into the movie with the death of the actor. Marcus Brody, played by Denholm Elliott, did not appear in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull due to Elliott's death in 1992.Ironically, this probably would have pissed Thompson off he hated Uncle Duke. Considering to whom the tribute was being paid, this actually seems appropriate. For the remainder of that week, Duke descends into a bizarre, probably drug-fueled series of Ralph Steadman-inspired hallucinations. After Duke confirms the story, his head promptly explodes again. When Duke reads the news of Thompson's passing, his head immediately explodes, only to reappear so that he can make sure he didn't misread the story. Invoked but ultimately averted with Doonesbury's Uncle Duke after the death of Hunter S."I know today you're probably thinking of your own 'good Joe' who didn't get to see this Christmas, but if you liked Dude, I hope you'll spare a thought for Higgs. Dude had not been seen in the strip in years when, on a Christmas Day, 1945 strip, Caniff spoke directly to the reader, revealing Dude had been based on Higgs. Higgs, like Dude, flew on relief efforts for war-torn China in the years leading up America's entry into World War II. The wisecracking Ace Pilot Dude Hennick was based on a Real Life friend of Terry's creator, Milton Caniff, named Frank Higgs. A rare non-actor version of this once occurred in the classic adventure strip Terry and the Pirates.If a voice actor dies (or otherwise stops being available) but the character simply stops having voiced appearances, it's Actor Existence Limbo.Īs this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Fans may do this preemptively via Death Fic. A Really Dead Montage may result for longstanding characters. However, outside of the narrative, it may prompt an episode or credits nod In Memoriam. This is a trope, as the event affects the narrative. The inverse is Character Outlives Actor when a character is taken out of a show and is still alive, but the actor who played them has died and sometimes in the case of animation, replaced with a soundalike, though in some cases, both can overlap if the character's death took place later than their actor's. ![]() It's usually seen in Anime, Western Animation, and Live-Action TV, but this can happen in film as well if the movie is a series (see Indiana Jones below). ![]() If the character was a big enough part of the show, it could be derailed or even ended altogether. This often causes major changes in the cast dynamic. In these circumstances, don't expect the character to be Put on a Bus to Hell, but rather an episode directly (and often respectfully) dealing with the death and deceased. In other words, the Grim Reaper himself arranges an (obviously long) bus trip. Frankie Boyle, Mock the Week, memorialising Heath Ledger in Lines You Wouldn't Hear In A Superhero MovieĪ sad form of Real Life Writes the Plot and the Logical Extreme of Written-In Infirmity: a character is written out of the show or even (and usually) Killed Off for Real because the actor who portrayed them has left not just the show, but the mortal coil itself.
