Veteran 81-year-old character actor James Handy, whose career spanned over 40 years of film and TV roles, has died. The actor was found murdered by his girlfriend’s son, according to The New York Post.
Hardy died on Wednesday at a home in the suburb of Tarzana in Los Angeles. Handy was found by cops unconscious in the front yard of a home, suffering from multiple stab wounds to the chest.
