Kenny, Scream (1996)
Other characters in the Scream movies have to deal with prickly high-school relationships and past traumas, but Kenny (Deadwood’s W. Earl Brown) has no easy time as a guy just trying to do his job: cameraman for ambitious, demanding TV reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), who’s as quick to criticize his slowness as she is his weight problem. There’s no justice for the snack-happy Kenny, who ends up dying in the line of duty—but it’s a sacrifice that Gale’s camera guy in Scream 2 takes note of, wisely deciding to remove himself from the action once Ghostface shows up.
