Julee Cruise – As the singer of the band at Twin Peaks’ favorite bar, the Roadhouse, her ethereal vocals backgrounded some of the cult David Lynch series’ most memorable scenes.

Ruggero Deodato – Influential Italian genre director and occasional actor whose oft-controversial filmography included Cannibal Holocaust—a direct inspiration for the “found-footage” horror craze; it also no doubt had a hand in his in-joke casting as “the Italian cannibal” in Eli Roth’s Hostel: Part II—and legendary “video nasty” The House at the Edge of the Park. He also made cult-favorite fantasy film The Barbarians.

Jason David Frank – A fan-favorite cast member of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, he played Tommy Oliver in multiple iterations of the long-running series.

Gilbert Gottfried – Distinctively voiced comedian whose many, many roles included the devious parrot Iago in Disney’s animated Aladdin (and its many spin-offs).
