Just read about this yesterday on the Creature Corner website:

"JIM SIEDOW: 1920-2003

Actor Jim Siedow, best known to horror fans for his role as Drayton Sawyer, “The Cook” from Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Parts 1 & 2 has passed away at the age of 83. He was at home with his wife of 57 years, Ruth Siedow.

I spoke with Tobe Hooper, who had this to say about Mr. Siedow: “We’ve lost a great artist and my heartfelt sympathies go to his family. He was an extraordinarily unique talent. Chameleon-like truly, and his Shakespearan work for the stage was truly fantastic…I’m at a loss for words. What people don’t realize is that he was a wonderful comedian, a very funny and extremely kind man. Definitely the real deal.”

Mr. Siedow had been suffering from a long-term illness and had only just returned from the hospital the day before.

His body will be donated to Baylor College of Medicine. A Memorial Celebration of Mr. Siedow’s life will be held sometime next month at the Theater Suburbia in Houston, where he was active as a stage performer for many years."
