Almost a year ago!

One of those common [faces](http://www.dougmacaulay.com/kingspud/sel_by_actor_index_2.php?actor_first=Milton&actor_last=Selzer) that you can rarely place a name to, but chances are [you’ve seen him](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0783670/), since he was in almost everything.

Never heard of him, and the face isn’t familiar, although I’ve seen several of those movies.

But, I’ll do my part to keep SDMB obit clichés alive:

“Damn. Just, damn.”

“He will be missed.”
