Wizzing thought the internet, I came across this article about actors and actresses that play characters that die a lot on films. It's quite a good read, and it's interesting to see how many of them actually do get killed off, but I realised that one actor in particular was glaringly missing from this list. The actor in question is Stephen Dorff.


Dorff as Deacon Frost. About to throw kids in traffic.

A while back, my old flatmate and I whilst frequenting our local DVD rental store, discovered that not only does Stephen Dorff appear in a lot of B-Movies, he also dies in a lot of movies. He also appears in a lot of Largo produced films too. Maybe he has some deal with them.

Looking up the IMDB for more info it is staggering to see how many times he's been killed off on celluloid. Check this out: The films and characters that die:

• Public Enemies - Homer Van Meter - This isn't out yet, but as he's playing a bad guy, it's a fair chance he dies.
  
• Alone in the Dark - Richard Burke - Blown up, sacrificing himself to save the others.
  
• Cold Creek Manor - Dale Massie - Falls to his death.
  
• FeardotCom - Detective Mike Reilly - Shot dead.
  
• Deuces Wild - Leon - Shot dead.
  
• Cecil B. DeMented - Cecil - Shot. Set on fire. Thrown off a building. All at the same time.
  
• Blade - Deacon Frost - Injected with some anti-blood serum and explodes. Violently.
  
• City of Industry - Skip Kovich - Slowly beaten to death by Karvey Kietel.
  
• Backbeat - Stuart Sutcliffe - Dies of a brain haemorrhage

That's a tally of nine so far, and I'm sure I've missed more. So in conclusion, he dies a lot. Must be in his contract or something. Brilliantly though, he actually survives World Trade Center, despite the odds.



Poor bugger.
