Lou Perryman

I was saddened and sickened to learn this evening that Lou Perryman had been murdered in his Austin, Texas home earlier this week.

Lou was a veteran character actor, best known among horror fans as "L.G." of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. He was also just a really nice, warm and funny guy. I had the good fortune to meet Lou at Cinema Wasteland several years ago. As luck would have it, our tables were set up next to each other, and he entertained me with that wonderful Texas drawl, telling me funny stories for three whole days. I bored him with pictures of my animals and forced a pack of SpiffyCards on him which he graciously accepted and took home for his daughter. I was thrilled to run into him again at Wasteland a few years later, and though we weren't set up near each other that weekend, we took a little time to chat and laugh and take some snapshots, one of which is posted here. I will always remember Lou with fondness and I will miss him. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Very senseless crime. Over a lousy car, too.

Sorry that you lost a good friend. I hope his family and friends are able to work thru their greiving process.
