Charles Cyphers died on August 4 at the age of 85. His death follows a brief illness. Cyphers was known for his role as Sheriff Leigh Brackett in ‘Halloween’ and had roles in ‘Roots,’ ‘Wonder Woman,’ ‘ER,’ and more.   On Sunday, August 4, Charles Cyphers passed away. He was 85 years old when he died in Tucson, Arizona. His cause of death follows a brief illness. His manager of 20 years, Chris Roe, announced the actor’s passing, remembering him as both a dear client and friend. In his career spanning nearly five decades, Cyphers became particularly famous for working alongside director John Carpenter. That gave him a front-row seat to give a memorable performance as Sheriff Leigh Brackett in Carpenter’s 1978 Halloween horror film, the start of a franchise that’s still going to date.

Television / Courtesy: Everett Collection “Charles was an incredibly lovable and sensitive man,” Roe said of Cyphers in a statement. “He always had the best stories, and you got a full performance while he told you. He was a close friend and client of many years who will be dearly missed.” RELATED: In Memoriam — All The People We Lost In 2023 Charles Cyphers was born on July 28, 1939, in Niagara Falls, New York. He began his acting career in 1972, though his first feature film appearance came two years later in Truck Turner. As for his collaboration with John Carpenter, that kicked off in his 1976 action-thriller film Assault on Precinct 13. Something for everyone Charles Cyphers has passed away. He was an early and frequent collaborator with me on my early movies. A kind man, he was a friend. I shall miss him. — John Carpenter (@TheHorrorMaster) August 6, 2024 Cyphers’s Halloween character enjoyed a kinder fate than his Truck Turner role, sticking with the horror franchise through Halloween II and, most recently, 2021’s Halloween Kills. 2007’s Methodic sees Cyphers taking up a role that pays homage to his Halloween character. Though action, thrillers, and horrors would define much of Cyphers’s filmography, there was always something for everyone. His other credits include Elvis (1979), The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981), Major League (1989), and Critical Mass (2001), among others.

A kind man, he was a friend. I shall miss him.” Nancy Kyes, his co-star from Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, and The Fog, similarly said, “My friend of many years, he could always be relied on for a kind word, a good laugh and a great story.

Shannen Doherty’s passing was followed by a series of tributes and recollections of her legacy from co-stars, friends, family, and bosses. Heathers producer Denise Di Novi had some spectacular remarks about the late actress, who played Heather Duke in the movie. Denise recalled how Shannen gave a stunning delivery of the script, which was a contrast from the movies she was used to, and her job as a broadcast TV personality at the time. There was none other fitting for the role than Shannen, who landed the gig without dispute. Shannen had a big personality since her teen years HEATHERS, Shannen Doherty, 1988, © New World/courtesy Everett Collection Shannen was in her mid-teen years when she scored her role as Heather Duke in the 1988 film, and Denise recalled how much of a commanding presence she had. In the filmmaker’s words, Heather was like a little bulldozer and a tiny spitfire.
