Actor Jonathan Joss has passed.
He was the voice actor for John Redcorn on King of the Hill, appeared on Parks and Rec, and was in many other productions.
I met Joss once somewhat by accident. I was attending a small swap meet/ convention, and I guess Joss was packing up his table to leave just as I showed up late. He saw that when we locked eyes I knew who he was due to what I assume was a stupid grin, and... as people so often do seeing an amiable lumbering fellow, shoved a box of stuff for me to carry. And so it was, I was briefly assisting Jonathan Joss on his way out to his car.
Anyway, I was so f'ing pleased to meet the guy, who cares about carrying a box or two?
Today I learned he was murdered by a former neighbor at the site of his former home. It seems to be a textbook hate crime, and I find myself helplessly furious that this happened. Hopefully justice will be swift and certain.
