‘The Purge: Anarchy’ and ‘Firestarter’ Actor John Beasley Has Passed Away

Best known for his recurring roles on the TV shows “Everwood” and “The Soul Man,” actor John Beasley passed away on Tuesday, May 30 at the age of 79, THR reports.

The site reports, “Beasley died in a hospital in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. He had been undergoing tests on his liver before taking an unexpected turn for the worst.”

Son Mike W. Beasley writes on Facebook, “Man…you know this is a part of life…but that doesn’t make it any easier. I lost my best friend today. They say you shouldn’t ever meet your heroes because they don’t turn out to be who you thought they were. That is so wrong. My hero was my father. Thank you for everything. I hope I made you proud. Love you more.”

In the horror genre, John Beasley most recently starred in last year’s Stephen King adaptation Firestarter, and his horror credits also include Lost Souls (2000), Sam Raimi’s The Gift (2000), Haunted Maze (2013), The Purge: Anarchy (2014), Sinister 2 (2015), and Spell (2020).

“He spent the first 44 years of his life out of the acting limelight and worked as a Union Pacific railroad clerk for seven years before he decided to pursue acting as a full-time career,” Beasley’s IMDb bio states. He began acting in 1989, with notable film roles including The Mighty Ducks, Untamed Heart, Rudy, The Untouchables, Little Big League, The Apostle, The General’s Daughter, The Sum of All Fears, and Walking Tall. On the small screen, Beasley appeared on “Missing Persons,” “Millennium,” “CSI,” “NCIS,” “Boston Legal” and “The Resident.”

John Beasley is survived by wife Judy; sons Michael and Tyrone; daughter-in-law Katie; and grandchildren Evan, Miles, Olivia, Mika, Darius and Malik Beasley.
