Jay Benedict RIP

Note: This is our first Covid-19 passing.

Actor Jay Benedict, perhaps best-known for his role in the British TV series “Foyle’s War,” died in Europe on April 4 due to complications arising from a COVID-19 infection. He was 68.

Fans of the Alien/Aliens movie franchise will remember him as Russ Jordan, the father of Newt and the first victim of the Alien infestation.

His connection to MST3K is fairly tenuous: Early in his career, Benedict did voices for the English language version of the movie in episode 314- MIGHTY JACK.

This Italian website has the news in Italian, but Google was able to haltingly translate.
Thanks to Tim for the heads up.

* Kenny Rogers (age 81), who was mentioned in a host segment in episode 414- TORMENTED. The New York Times has the story.
