Today we mourn the passing of James Ransone who decided to check out early from this mortal coil. Ransone is known for THE WIRE, SINISTER, BLACK PHONE, IT PT 2, as well as Ti West’s IN A VALLEY OF VIOLENCE (seen above on set playing with canine star Jumpy the Dog) with Toby Huss, John Travolta and Ethan Hawk. Films are such a bonding experience, you feel you’ll know each other for ever.

In memoriam we highlight the fine performance he contributed to a TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE: “Natural Selection” also featuring Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan and Pat Healy (seen above with Fessenden during the LA recording, Ransone on right).

Rest in Peace, Ransone, hope you’ve found some now.
Deep sympathy to those left behind.
Hard times.
