His smile. His piercing eyes. His biting comedy. Taylor Negron, comedian, actor and playwright, died Saturday after a long battle with cancer. He was 57.
His cousin, Chuck Negron of the musical group Three Dog Night, announced the death on YouTube on Saturday.
Negron's career covered a range of characters and roles from a pizza delivery guy in Fast Times at Ridgemont High to a hairdresser on Seinfeld and the villain in The Last Boy Scout. He appeared nine times on The Dating Game in the 1970s.
Negron was born in Brad Stephen Negron in Glendale, Calif., to Lucy (Rosario) and Conrad Negron, who was mayor of Indian Wells, Calif., according to IMDB.com. His parents were both of Puerto Rican descent.
Ben Stiller was among those paying tribute to Negron on Twitter.
