Are there any popular Hollywood actors who've never died in a movie?

not trying to spoil the fun, just found this thread somewhere else:
http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=517778

Comedy guys: Ben Stiller, Will Farrell.

Has John C. Reilly died? (Spoilers ahead if he has.)

Cary Grant?

I was going to say Cary Grant!

Will Farrell

Mustafa: Someone help me! I'm still alive only I'm very badly burned.
Dr. Evil: Some of you I know, some of you I'm meeting for the first time.
Mustafa: Hello out there. Anyone. Can someone call an ambulance, I'm in quite a lot of pain.
Dr. Evil: Okay, you've all been gathered here to form my evil cabinet [Mustafa starts again] - excuse me. [Dr. Evil picks up a phone and talks to a henchmen on the other line] Yes, he's down there.
Henchman: [almost inaudible] Is he dead yet?
Dr. Evil: No, not dead. Burnt, badly.
Henchman: Would you like me to take care of him, possibly with a gun?
Dr. Evil: Yes.
Henchman: Kill him?
Dr. Evil: Right. [hangs up the phone]
Mustafa: If somebody cold open the retrieval hatch down here I could get out. See I designed this device myself [a hatch is heard opening] - Oh, hi, good. I'm glad you found me, listen I'm very badly burned, so if you could just- [a gunshot fires] You shot me!
Dr. Evil: Okay, moving on-
Mustafa: You shot me right in the arm! Why would you- [another gunshot fires, all is silent for a moment, then the hatch is heard closing]
Dr. Evil: Right.

* The name Casper is a family tradition, given to the eldest son of his family for more than 11 generations.
* Mark Twain is his great great great uncle.
* He learned the box step, the jitterbug, and ballroom dancing from his parents.
* He grew up on the same block as actor Robert Sean Leonard, and raced go-carts in their neighborhood.
* He was a published poet at 17 years old.
* In high school, he was often referred to as "Ken doll" due to his good looks, and got into many fights for that reason.
* Coincidentally, he was later described as a "perfect life-sized Ken doll."
* He was an extra in two 1989 episodes of Saved by the Bell.
* People magazine gave him the title "Sexiest Soap Star" in November 2000.
* He played the trumpet for 7 years, and played the bugle for "Taps" and "Reveille" during boot camp for Starship Troopers.
* He filmed several scenes as Patrick Bateman, Sean's brother, in 2002's The Rules of Attraction. This was the same character that Christian Bale played in American Psycho. However, the scenes wound up on the cutting room floor.
* Among his good friends are Bailey Chase (who lived in Van Dien's house in 1998 for a year) and Kenny Johnson.
* The street on which he grew up in New Jersey, Van Dien Avenue, was named after his great great grandfather.
* The last name of James Dean (whom he portrayed in a biopic) is a derivative of Van Dien.
* Starship Troopers was filmed primarily in Casper, Wyoming.
* He played a suitor of Katrina van Tassel in Sleepy Hollow. In fact, Van Dien's family are cousins to the van Tassels.

zombie in dawn of the dead remake

ya to be honest he's been in so many horror movies and z-grade made-in-vancouver straight-to-vids genre flicks he's probably died a thousand ghastly deaths.

Viggo died in just about every movie he was in until "28 Days."

My 'favorite death', though, has to be in "Daylight." His is the only good part of that whole braincell-destroying movie.

Brandon Lee

I was going to say Johnny Depp but then remembered he pretty much plays a character who's a dead guy all the way through the first Pirates' movie

also dies in Nightmare on Elm Street, doesn't he?

I love the way in which the star always dies in the opening credits of Police Squad.

Johnny Depp also dies in, ahem, Dead Man.

I can't think of any Harrison Ford movie where he would die.

And I think it's more interesting if we try to think of action and drama actors, because like someone pointed out, the main characters in comedies rarely die.

If the character is a robot, does its destruction count as your character dying? Cause I think maybe Schwarzenegger escapes on a technicality.

are there any popular Hollywood actors who've never learned why humans cry in a movie?

There's also the technicality of whether he can actually be considered an actor, but I guess we can let that slide.

Arnold in Terminator 2 is definitely more than just a robot, so I think it's a legitimate death. Terminator 1 maybe not so.

Van Dien dies in Sleepy Hollow

I can't think of any Harrison Ford movie where he would die.

That's who I first thought of when I saw this thread. Then I remembered The Mosquito Coast.

Ah, I haven't seen that.

What about James Stewart?

was going to say James Stewart.

any takers?

The Glenn Miller Story?

its a wonderful life director's cut

clint eastwood?

the chimp kills him at the end of every which way but loose

He's already dead in High Plains Drifter, prob'ly.

I like to think that George Bailey really died and the ending is him in heaven. Along the lines of Mulholland Drive.

Will Smith

Nora Dunn = was in some movie where she played a sherriff, and someone had a bunch of bodies buried in the back yard, and I remember ZERO about this but I'm not entirely sure she wasn't added to the pile?

(Also I used to be friends with her niece and then she was around our college at some point and for some insane reason I got kinda OMG NORA about it.)

oh I forgot all about Nora Dunn, what a popular Hollywood movie star she is.

That Nora Dunn film was The Last Supper, I think, although I remember very little about it, too.

Neither her television reporter in Three Kings nor her television reporter in Bulworth died onscreen, it's kind of eerie.

television reporters = invulnerable

Really, her breakout role, though, was that TV news producer in Bruce Almighty. Broke down all that typecasting. Still didn't die, though.

sl0cki made the Dunn joke upthread, jerkstore

oh i don't care who made it first, i'm just enjoying the discovery of her really weird career niche.

Teri Hatcher died in "Tomorrow Never Dies".

Harrison Ford died in "What Lies Beneath".

I doubt she's the only SNL cast member to go around doing reliable bit parts. You'd think you'd see her more, really.

Ornaldo Bloomps

Does TV count. Ornaldo was a murder victim in some British TV series back before he became ORLANDO.

I nominate Sandra Bullock

isn't hollywood the wrong place to look for people who haven't died in movies, in the sense that rice is the wrong place to look for white?

Is that an arcanely mean Condeleeza joke?

^^^^^^^^ sub-custos

Harrison Ford died in "What Lies Beneath".

^^^this was going to be my annoying answer ("like, everybody except brandon lee?")

Expand to tv shows and you can say "everyone but Brandon Lee, Jon-Erik Hexum and John Ritter".

candace cameron

was going to say James Stewart.

any takers?

James Stewart plays a murderer in After The Thin Man and so may well be exectuted after the end of the film. That's all I got.

I think only on-screen deaths count, otherwise you could argue with any character that he will eventually grow old and die after the end of the film. That said, I haven't seen the Glenn Miller film, but surely Stewart dies in that?

Also off-screen though.

But I get your point. I'm surprised he didn't die in any of his westerns but I can't think of one.

There was a TV movie where he and Bette Davis played an old couple who wanted to commit suicide together. They manage it, as I recall.

I said the Glenn Miller Story as soon as you mentioned James Stewart! Mind you, I don't think he dies so much as disappears.

(which is why I hesitate to mention Escape from Alcatraz to counter the Clint Eastwood nomination)

I think only on-screen deaths count, otherwise you could argue with any character that he will eventually grow old and die after the end of the film.

hahah Tuomas I love you

That doesn't work for "Highlander", Tuomas.
