Some news that’s been circulating today: James Ransone, who you might know as the adult Eddie from It: Chapter Two or from his role in The Wire, has passed away. It appears to be by suicide, which is obviously pretty heavy news for a lot of people who followed his work.
He wasn’t necessarily the biggest name in Hollywood, but he definitely left an impression. Along with It: Chapter Two and The Wire, Ransone was also known for his roles in Generation Kill, Sinister, and Tangerine. Fans of indie and genre films will definitely recognize his face and his unique presence on screen.
Right now, there’s a wave of folks online who are mourning that loss in a very real way. May he rest in peace.
