Also DTM... America. How do you vote off the Gutt? He was so smiley! LAME!

And check out the turtleneck ability of this guy! AWESOME.
Rooster hates you, we judge you.
Seriously, how could you NOT put Scheider on this list? Jaws was awesome. You FAIL. I was most deeply offended by the lack of him in the montage. Whatever... Roy Scheider (1932-2008), I'm here for you. I miss you. And Seaquest DSV... but that's a different story. He gets two pictures for being left out. Also he's from Jersey!
UPDATE: THE CUTOFF FOR DEAD PEOPLE MONTAGE AT THE OSCARS WAS JAN. 31ST. CATCH YA NEXT YEAR, SCHEIDER. This does not mean I miss him any less.
Next forgotten actor, no doubt overshadowed by Heath Ledger who died in the same week:
IMDB fun fact about Renfro - "Auditioned for the part of Gabriel Martin in The Patriot (2000), which eventually went to Heath Ledger, who died from an overdose of prescription drugs on January 22, 2008, exactly one week after Brad's death."
My suggested punishment for leaving these (and probably others) out of the dead people montage? WHEN YOU DIE YOU DON'T GET TO BE IN THE DEAD PEOPLE MONTAGE. Suck on that.
