Long-time Hollywood character actor and voice-over artist Miguel Ferrer, best known for his work on 80’s sci-fi classic RoboCop<\/em>, the television version of Stephen King’s IT<\/em>, and television series Twin Peaks<\/em>, has passed away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My first experience with Miguel Ferrer’s brand of screen villainy was in Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop<\/em>, in which he played one of the film’s antagonists, Bob Morton. It was a slimy, cruel, almost sadistic role that made him a compelling bad guy, and it was an asset to his career that he managed to hone to perfection. Earlier bit-roles in films like The Man Who Wasn’t There<\/em> and Star Trek III<\/em>, as well as roles in Deepstar Six and Exorcist director William Friedkin’s The Guardian<\/em>, set him up for one of his most memorable screen roles, that of FBI Agent Rosenfield in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks<\/em>, which ran between 1990 and 1991. His film career was as varied as the characters he portrayed; he appeared in 2000’s Best Picture nominated\u00a0Traffic<\/em>, alongside Denzel Washington in The Manchurian Candidate<\/em> remake, and in Marvel’s Iron Man 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n Mr Ferrer continued to pop up on long running television shows throughout his career, including: Miami Vice, Broken Badges,<\/em> in the Stephen King serial The Stand<\/em>, Will & Grace, Robot Chicken<\/em>, and more recently in NCIS: Los Angeles<\/em>. Mr Ferrer had completed filming of the 2017 Twin Peaks<\/em> reprise series, again essaying Agent Rosenfield.<\/p>\n He also provided voice work for animated series such as Men In Black, Hercules, Young Justice<\/em>, and Adventure Time<\/em>, as well as various computer games.<\/p>\n Miguel Ferrer passed away on January 19, aged 61.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Long-time Hollywood character actor and voice-over artist Miguel Ferrer, best known for his work on…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48482,"featured_media":45192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obituary"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",1061,700,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz-300x198.jpg",300,198,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz-768x507.jpg",640,423,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz-720x475.jpg",640,422,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",1061,700,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",1061,700,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",1024,676,false],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",515,340,false],"profile_24":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",24,16,false],"profile_48":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",48,32,false],"profile_96":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",96,63,false],"profile_150":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",150,99,false],"profile_300":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz.jpg",300,198,false],"sow-carousel-default":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RoboCop_089Pyxurz-272x182.jpg",272,182,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rodney Twelftree","author_link":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/author\/rodney\/"},"category_info":"Obituary<\/a>","tag_info":"Obituary","comment_count":"2","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48482"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ExcelsiorExecutiveOfficer.jpg\")
