INTRO: Character actor Richard Riehle (ree-lee) has died at the age of 78. A prolific performer who appeared in hundreds of roles across film and television, he was perhaps best known as Tom Smykowski (smeh-KOW-skee) in the cult classic Office Space where he describes his “million dollar idea” if he gets laid off, a “Jump To Conclusions” mat.
ACK: ARCHIVE – “Office Space”
TAG: Instantly recognizable by his trademark bushy mustache, Riehle’s career spanned decades across both B-movies and major studio hits. Friends of the actor say he died of natural causes.
KEYWORD: Entertainment, Obits
