Royce D. Applegate
Toward the end of his career, Applegate could frequently be found on both the small screen--guest-starring on series such as "JAG" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" as well as appearing in well-regarded pay-cable telepics including "Phoenix" (1998), "Poodle Springs" (1998) and "Inherit the Wind" (1999)--and on the big screen in supporting roles in major films such as the 1994 remake of "The Getaway," "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000), "The Rook ie" (2002) and "Gods and Generals" (2003) before his unexpected death at age 63 on New Year's Day in a blaze at his Hollywood Hills home.
