Ed Gale, who played the creepy doll Chucky in the 1988 Child바카라s Play movie and its 1990 sequel, breathed his last at the age of 61.
TMZ reported that Gale passed away on Tuesday, May 27, under hospice care in Los Angeles.
Gale's niece, Kayse Gale announced Ed Gale's death on Wednesday via a Facebook post. She didn't reveal the cause of death.
바카라It is with a heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin (see what I did there?) that we announce the sudden passing of our uncle, Ed Gale. Ed Gale has taken his final bow and is now headlining in the afterlife. Ed hitched a ride to California when he was twenty years old, with $41 and a dream, and he never looked back,바카라 she wrote.
"He lit up the silver screens in cult classic films like Howard the Duck and Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, earning himself some serious street cred at every con he attended. Which he never stopped bragging about. Ever," Kayse wrote.
"Over the course of his career he appeared in over 130 movies, TV shows, and commercials. With this wide ranging body of work, he leaves behind legacy full of questionable lighting and amazing one-liners. Ed바카라s favorite role was that of the 'fun uncle.' His love language was sharing his love of the entertainment industry and the magic of Hollywood with his nieces," she added.
"Ed loved 7 eleven hotdogs with disgusting amounts of ketchup. He enjoyed reminiscing about his glory days DJing at the Plainwell roller rink. He hated Bill Maher for no good reason," Kayse wrote further in her Facebook post.
"He delighted in the slow build up of telling a good story, and cheating at cribbage. He had one hell of a laugh, and he will be missed. Rest in love you cranky b------ đ Final arrangements are pending," she concluded her post.
