John Heard in Real Life
You thought John Heard was just the frazzled dad forever losing his kid in airports and abandoning him in “Home Alone?” Think again. This multi-talented guy was a Broadway charmer who also made a splash in hit shows like “The Sopranos” and “Prison Break,” with guest roles in “CSI: Miami” and “NCIS: Los Angeles.”.
But alas, every story has its final act. When he passed away in 2017, it wasn’t just a blow to the film and theater worlds; it shook a community of friends, colleagues, and fans who cherished him. He left behind two living kids, dishing out a heartfelt finale nobody had scripted.
