Taylor Negron has died at the age of 57 after a battle with cancer. The comedian and actor is perhaps best remembered for his role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Negron's death was announced by cousin Chuck Negron, a former member of the rock band Three Dog Night, via YouTube over the weekend.
"May he rest in peace," Chuck said, fighting back tears in the video he posted. He was with Taylor when he died, as were Taylor's mom and brother Alex.
Taylor played the pizza guy in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and was also in Stuart Little, The Last Boy Scout, Angels in the Outfield and Better Off Dead.
On TV, he appeared on Friends, Seinfeld, ER and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
In addition to acting, he was an accomplished stand-up comedian and humorist whose essays had been published numerous times over the years.
Taylor Negron was also a painter, playwright and poet.
