Taylor Negron, who was known in both the comedic and acting world respectively, passed away Saturday after a battle with cancer. Immediately after his cousin, Chuck, shared the news via a video message, Twitter users and celebrities sent in their condolences to the late actor.
Many may remember Negron from some of his roles such as Fast Times At Ridgemont High, when he brings a pizza to a classroom for Sean Penn’s character. He also appeared in Stuart Little in a short clip as a mall employee who sells clothes for Stuart and on television in ER.
Negron also performed his own original work and was part of the UnCabaret group. In addition to his comedy work, Negron’s stories were also published in an anthology called Dirty Laundry and Love West Hollywood: Reflections of Los Angeles.
The condolences on Twitter have ranged from the likes of known comedians such as John Mulaney and Ben Stiller, as well as Kathy Griffith. Some of the tweets have remarked on a great comedian who was not only funny, but also a really nice guy. Here are just some of the condolences left by celebrities who either knew him or appreciated his talent.
O @Taylor_Negron countless nights of laughing, bombing, crushing it, doing standup together. Best post show recaps ever! RIP
