GOODBYE, MICHAEL J. POLLARD...


Your role as C.W. Moss in "Bonnie and Clyde '67" is one that any quality character actor would wish to possess: a cinematic icon that movie buffs continue to reference.


Your uniqueness, however, filtered into other productions, including "Dick Tracy '90"; "Jigsaw '68"; "Roxanne"; "American Gothic '88"; "Season of Fear"; "Split Second"; "Roxanne"; "Summer Magic"; "Scrooged"; "The Legend of Frenchie King"; "Tango and Cash"; "Sleepaway Camp III"; "Melvin and Howard"; "Dirty Little Billy"; "Little Fauss and Big Halsy"; "Four of the Apocalypse"; "Hannibal Brooks"; "The Patriot '86"; "The Wild Angels"; "The Odyssey"; "The Arrival"; "Dark Angel"; "House of 1000 Corpses"; and "The Ray Bradbury Theater: the Handler". 


One of your best roles came via classic "Star Trek" in Adrian Spies' "Miri", where you redefined the delinquent concept, but you took your quirky edge to even greater heights with a recurring role as Mr. Mxyzptlk on the fan favorite, "Superboy". 


You were a special, one-of-a-kind guy, Mr. Pollard, who brought enormous joy to whatever role you played. Your legacy will endure and strengthen, your presence carved-in-stone forever and always.
