LARRY DRAKE – CARDIAC ARREST DUE TO RARE A BLOOD CANCER

The passing of Larry Drake on March 17, 2016, was a dark time for Hollywood. It only meant that the industry lost one of its best actors, voice artists, and comedians. The cause of his death pointed towards his rare form of blood cancer. His hypertension and excess body weight also played a massive role in his deteriorating health condition. He’s well-remembered for playing the character of Benny Stulwicz in L.A. Law, which revolved around the daily life of a lawyer based on Los Angles.

His character portrayal gave him a pair of Primetime Emmy Awards. He made a number of movie appearances on film and on TV such as Time Quest, Paranoid, Overnight Delivery, The Journey of August King, Dr. Giggles, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Beast. He also voiced Pops in the cartoon comedy Johnny Bravo and was a regular cast member in the show Prey.
