The actor who played the talkative delivery guy in Miller High Life Commercials has died. Article.
No cause of death has been given, but foul play is not suspected. The article states 'In his final Instagram post, shared three days before his death, Middlebrooks wrote about bringing awareness to colon cancer. ’
That’s a shame. I enjoyed those commercials, relatively speaking. They made Miller beer seem almost appealing. F you, cancer.
I remember he came to the 2007 American League Division Series game I went to when the Indians played the Red Sox in Cleveland. He was basically doing live ads for Miller High Life on the jumbotron. People were going nuts, like he was a huge celebrity. It was fun!
The guy really exuded happiness. And dang, he was only 6 months older than me.
If he died from colon cancer I am going to be pissed. That’ll be the third lovely person I know of to die of the disease in the past 2 months (my friend, Sam Simon and now him)
His name is not very well known. But most people have seen his Miller Beer commercials. No word on cause of death. He was only 36. TMZ has a link to one of his commercials.
I saw that. Sad. He seemed like a nice guy. Some people might remember him as “Carmen the Tranny’s” husband on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He was the father of Dee’s baby, via in vitro.
Oh no! That’s so sad…I met the guy and he autographed a 6 pack of high life for me!
It was such a funny story. My friend and I randomly went to Wal Mart and he was making an appearance, so we waited for him and said hi and talked for a bit.
He was so nice. Poor guy…
I searched for Windell. They didn’t give the guys name in the thread title.
crap. How are we supposed to find threads with ambiguous titles?
I don’t know; “Miller High Life delivery guy dead at 36” seems pretty unambiguous. Besides more people are going to recognize the character description than the actor’s name.
That blows. I bought some used Miller High Life koozies at a thrift sale last year (four koozies and a bunch of Beethoven CDs for only $5!) Yesterday as we were sipping our koozied beers on the train after work, I made sure to let everyone know the sad news.
Merged duplicate threads, so some of the posts may seem jumbled.
Never seen any of this guy’s commercials. Guess they only advertise that brand during sportsball.
RIP
