Don Francks

Don Francks (1932 - 2016)

Film Deaths:Edit

• Heavy Metal (1981; animated) [Grimaldi/Co-Pilot/Barbarian]: Voicing multiple characters in the different stories, "Grimaldi" is disintegrated/melted by the mysterious glowing orb (voiced by Percy Rodrigues). "Co-Pilot" is killed by a zombie crew member on the plane. "Barbarian" is presumably killed in a battle with Taarna (though I'm not sure which of the many barbarians was voiced by Don, so I can't be certain).

• Rock & Rule (1983; animated) [Mok]: Knocked into a mystical portal/abyss by Toad (voiced by Chris Wiggins) before the portal closes. (I'm not certain whether this counts as a death or not, but I'll list it just in case.)

• Terminal Choice (Critical List; Death Bed; Trauma) (1985) [Chauncy Rand]: Electrocuted when David McCallum programs an automated defibrillator to shock him repeatedly on the hospital bed, as Diane Venora tries to stop it.

TV Deaths:Edit

• The Wild Wild West: The Night of the Grand Emir (1966) [T. Wiggett Jones]: Poisoned when he gets knocked into a glass "gas chamber" at the end of a fight with Robert Conrad.

• Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Mole (1987) [Sgt. Jim Wills]: Killed by Edward Herrmann in a subway tunnel, the scene cuts to black as soon as Edward's identity as the serial killer (and his weapon) is revealed.

• Tales from the Cryptkeeper: Cold Blood, Warm Heart/The Spider and the Flies (1994) [The Hunter/The Exterminator]:
