0:00A four-time Oscar nominee, a favorite of director Stanley Kubrick, and

0:05multiple mobsters. Let's take a closer look into the lives of the stars we've lost so far in 2022.

0:12Iconic singer and actor Meat Loaf, who won a Grammy for his hit ballad "I'd Do Anything For

0:17Love (But I Won't Do That)" and appeared in films like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Fight

0:22Club," died in January 2022. His manager confirmed the news to The New York Times,

0:27but did not immediately reveal the cause of death. He was 74.

0:31Born Marvin Lee Aday, the Dallas native adopted his childhood nickname as a stage name

0:36early in his career. He got his big break when he auditioned for the off-Broadway musical

0:41"More Than You Deserve" in the early '70s. He won a role and formed a lifelong partnership

0:46with writer Jim Steinman, who would go on to pen Meat Loaf's debut album, 1977's "Bat Out of Hell."

0:53Todd Rundgren produced the record, and everyone from the New York Philharmonic to members of the

0:58E Street Band contributed. It was an unlikely hit that critics begrudgingly praised, though

1:04Meat Loaf would struggle to replicate its success in the years that followed. After a few flops,

1:09he dropped 1993's "Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell," which included his Grammy-winning single.

1:15In terms of films, Meat Loaf is best known for playing Eddie the delivery boy

1:19in 1975's "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and former bodybuilder Bob

1:24Paulson in 1999's "Fight Club." Other notable credits include 1992's "Wayne's World,"

1:302001's "The 51st State," and "Ghost Wars," on which he recurred between 2017 and 2018.

1:38Comedian and actor Bob Saget, best known for his long stint on the sitcom "Full

1:42House," died in January 2022 in his hotel room. There was no evidence of drug use or foul play,

1:49according to Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany. He was 65. His wife,

1:53Kelly Rizzo Saget, said in a statement, per Variety,

1:56"I am so completely shattered and in disbelief."

2:00Saget made his TV debut as Bob the Comic in a 1981 episode of the Tom Hanks sitcom

2:05"Bosom Buddies." In 1987, he won the part of Danny Tanner on "Full House,"

2:10which became a career-defining role. Saget played the widowed father of three from 1987 to 1995,

2:17and reprised the role in the Netflix-produced sequel series, "Fuller House."

2:21"Well just remember, when children seem the least lovable, means they need love the most."

2:27It was often hectic on set, but Saget had fond memories of working with his

2:31onscreen kids. The actor told Vanity Fair in 2014,

2:35"Jodie Sweetin was four when she started, Ashley and Mary-Kate were nine months,

2:39Candace was nine — you're talking about exceptionally talented young kids."

2:44Elsewhere, Saget was known as the voice of the older Ted Mosby on "How I Met Your Mother"

2:48and as the host of "America's Funniest Home Videos," which he fronted for almost a decade.

2:54French actor Gaspard Ulliel was best known to international audiences for his turn

2:59as the young Hannibal Lecter. Sadly, he died due to a skiing accident in January

3:042022, as reported by Deadline. He was 37.

3:08Ulliel began his career on French television in the late 1990s,

3:12and was landing film roles by the early 2000s. His big break arrived in 2004,

3:17when he landed the part of Manech in "A Very Long Engagement." Ulliel won his

3:22first Cesar award for this movie and would make the transition to Hollywood soon after,

3:26playing the titular killer in the 2007 prequel film "Hannibal Rising." It was one of his biggest

3:32roles at the time of his death. But the actor was also about to make his debut as a Marvel villain.

3:38Sadly, Ulliel died a few months before Marvel's "Moon Knight" dropped. He plays Anton Mogart, aka

3:44Midnight Man, a black market antiquities dealer who goes head to head with the titular hero.

3:50Emmy winner Louie Anderson, who appeared in films like "Ferris Bueller's Day

3:53Off" and "Coming to America," died of complications from cancer in January 2022,

3:59his publicist confirmed to CNN. He was 68. Tributes from across the entertainment world

4:04poured in after the news broke. Screenwriter Carl Kurlander wrote in a Deadline tribute piece,

4:10"I was one of the lucky ones who got to call Louie a friend. He made me

4:14and others in his orbit feel like family."

4:16Anderson decided to give stand-up a go after his colleagues dared him to go on stage.

4:21The audience loved him, and it wasn't long before he was making his mark in the comedy world.

4:26Anderson's talent and career were multifaceted.

4:29He was as comfortable in front of a crowd as he was fronting game shows. Indeed,

4:33he would become a fixture on American TV screens as the host of "Family Feud" from 1999 to 2002.

4:39Anderson plied his trade on shows like "Grace Under Fire," "Touched by an Angel," "Chicago

4:44Hope," and "Scrubs," but some of his best work came in the twilight of his career.

4:49Anderson was nominated for Emmys three years running for his performance on the

4:52Zach Galifianakis-led FX comedy "Baskets," winning in 2016.

4:58"Oh, presents! Unnecessary."

5:03Hollywood legend Sidney Poitier, widely seen as the first Black movie star, died in January 2022

5:09at the age of 94, as confirmed by The New York Times. Barack Obama said in a tweet,

5:15"Through his groundbreaking roles and singular talent, Sidney Poitier

5:19epitomized dignity and grace, revealing the power of movies to bring us closer together."

5:24Denzel Washington said of him in an interview with People,

5:27"He was a gentle man and opened doors for all of us that had been closed for years."

5:32Poitier earned his first credited film role, Dr. Luther Brooks, in 1950's "No Way Out."

5:38He actively avoided demeaning roles, and by the end of the decade, his persistence began paying

5:43off. He became the first Black man to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1959,

5:49blowing critics away with his turn as an escaped prisoner in "The Defiant Ones."

5:54He missed out on that occasion, but would make history a few years later when he became

5:58the first Black man to win that award for his performance as an traveling laborer in 1963's

6:04"Lilies of the Field." How did Poitier feel about opening so

6:07many doors for Black actors and artists everywhere? He once told Oprah Winfrey,

6:12"It's been an enormous responsibility. And I accepted it, and I lived in a

6:16way that showed how I respected that responsibility. I had to."

6:20Up-and-coming actor Moses J. Moseley was found dead in Georgia in January 2022.

6:25His agent, Tabatha Minchew, told The Hollywood Reporter,

6:29"Moses was a very talented person, with a bright light around him. He will be missed

6:34deeply by his friends, family and fans. Always a ball of happy energy around him."

6:40The cause of death was not immediately revealed by authorities, who launched an investigation

6:44to determine the circumstances. He was 31. A native of South Carolina,

6:49Moseley studied at Georgia State University before settling down in Atlanta.

6:54According to The Hollywood Reporter, he worked as a model before transitioning into acting.

6:58Moseley's first credited role was playing Michonne's pet walker Mike on "The Walking

7:03Dead" in 2012. He would appear on the hit AMC show half a dozen times over the next few years.

7:09Moseley went on to play Tic Toc on USA Network's "Queen of the South,"

7:13an usher on HBO's critically-acclaimed "Watchmen" series, and Kadeem on Irv Gotti's

7:18"Tales." His most notable feature film was 2017's "Attack of the Southern Fried

7:23Zombies," in which he played Robbie. Moseley had several projects in various stages of

7:28production when he was reported missing by his family, including "Hank" and "Cadillac Respect."

7:34Academy Award winner William Hurt — who owned the '80s with hits like "The Big Chill" and

7:39"Gorky Park" — died in March 2022. The actor was 71 years old, and as his son,

7:45Will, said in a statement via Variety,

7:47"He died peacefully, among family, of natural causes."

7:50Although not initially publicly confirmed, we now know that Hurt died from complications of

7:55prostate cancer; he was first diagnosed in 2018. Born in Washington, D.C., Hurt studied theology

8:04at Tufts before finding his passion in acting. The actor made his debut film performance with

8:10"Altered States," a psychedelic trip that mixes mushrooms, religious imagery, and body horror.

8:15He followed that up with the sexy noir flick "Body Heat" — the film that propelled him to stardom.

8:20After that, Hurt won a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of gay prisoner Luis Molina in

8:26"Kiss of the Spider Woman." It was just the first of four times he'd be up for an Oscar,

8:31with the Academy nominating his work for "Children of a Lesser God," "Broadcast

8:35News," and "A History of Violence." Fans will also recognize Hurt from projects like "The Village"

8:40and "A.I. Artificial Intelligence." Of course, the man also left his stamp on the superhero genre

8:46by playing Thaddeus Ross, the MCU antagonist who pursued Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanoff.

8:53Estelle Harris came to fame as an actor well into adulthood,

8:56most familiar to TV audiences as Estelle Costanza, the combative,

9:01shrill-voiced mother of George Costanza on the mega-popular '90s sitcom "Seinfeld."

9:06"Oh, I can't believe it. Frank, come here!."

9:10Harris appeared in nearly 30 episodes of the series. She also used that distinctive

9:14angry voice in a number of other projects post-"Seinfeld," including the "Toy Story"

9:19movies, as Mrs. Potato Head, "Brother Bear," "Teacher's Pet," and "Futurama."

9:23But Harris was much more than an argumentative, uniquely voiced maternal figure. She had more

9:28than 100 acting credits to her name, all of them coming in her late 40s and beyond.

9:34Harris started her acting career in community theater, regional theater,

9:38and summer stock before segueing into TV with appearances in commercials.

9:42According to CNN, she once appeared in 25 nationally broadcast ads in one year.

9:48According to a statement from Harris' son, Glen, via agent Michael Eisenstadt,

9:52Estelle Harris died on April 2, 2022. A cause of death was not provided; the actor was 93.

10:00Never a leading man and almost always a supporting character in broad comedies and family movies,

10:05Gilbert Gottfried became a household name because of his public and on-screen persona.

10:10It's hard not to forget that perpetually irate,

10:13squinting malcontent screaming his thoughts in a shrill, scratchy, overblown New York accent.

10:19"I can't believe it! I just don't believe it!"

10:23After a major breakthrough as a member of the cast of "Saturday Night Live" in the early 1980s,

10:28Gottfried became a fixture in '80s and '90s movies, oft-rerun cultural touchstones for kids

10:34and teens who grew up in that era. He played Sidney Bernstein in "Beverly Hills Cop II,"

10:39Mr. Peabody in all three "Problem Child" movies, and voiced Iago

10:43in "Aladdin." He also voiced the Aflac duck in a long-running series of insurance commercials.

10:49That's to say nothing of his dozens of other appearances in TV shows and movies,

10:54making use of his purposely annoying all-purpose characterization. Gottfried was also a

10:59relentlessly performing stand-up comedian and a dark and twisted one favored by other knock-around

11:04comics, as evidenced by his appearances on Comedy Central's series of celebrity roasts.

11:10On April 12, 2022, Gottfried's Twitter account broke the news that the actor and comedian

11:15had died following an unspecified "long illness." Gottfried was 67.

11:21Mike Hagerty was among the most prolific and recognizable character actors of the last 40

11:26years, popping up in more than 100 movies and TV shows. He usually played a gruff,

11:31blue-collar, working man type with a big mustache and pronounced Chicagoan accent.

11:36Among Hagerty's most familiar roles, there's Davey, a cable TV station employee in "Wayne's

11:41World" and apartment building superintendent Mr. Treeger on "Friends," who becomes Joey's

11:46ballroom dance partner. He also played best friend of the main character in the

11:50original "Overboard," an auto shop owner on "Lucky Louie," and a main cast role

11:56on "The George Carlin Show." Hagerty recently played a captain on multiple episodes of

12:00"Brooklyn Nine-Nine," appeared on "Shameless," and played farmer Ed Miller on "Somebody Somewhere."

12:06On her Instagram page, "Somebody Somewhere" star Bridget Everett reported that Hagerty had

12:10died on May 5, 2022, in Los Angeles. A cause of death was later revealed to be a seizure

12:16as a result of an adverse reaction to antibiotics. He was 67 years old.

12:22One of the finest and most recognizable actors of his era,

12:26Ray Liotta alternated between rugged leading man roles and quirky character actor parts,

12:31usually playing tough guys, criminals, and intimidating figures,

12:34as well as frequently sending up his public image as a man of simmering, unhinged intensity.

12:40"Who you think we're talking to?"

12:42Liotta was a prolific actor, appearing in more than 100 movies and TV shows since the 1980s.

12:48He broke out in a big way with back-to-back roles as the ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson

12:53in 1989's "Field of Dreams" and real-life Mafia big shot Henry Hill in "Goodfellas,"

12:58Martin Scorsese's classic crime epic that would earn six Oscar nominations. That film

13:04solidified Liotta's specialty of playing men just barely on one side of the law or the other,

13:09similar to his performances in "Something Wild," "Cop Land," "Unlawful Entry,"

13:14"Narc," "Observe and Report," "Shades of Blues," and "The Many Saints of Newark."

13:18According to Deadline, Liotta was in the Dominican Republic in May 2022

13:23filming the movie "Dangerous Waters," when he died in his sleep. He was 67.

13:28In a career spanning more than 200 roles back to the early 1970s, Philip Baker Hall became a

13:34quintessential character actor. He's probably best known to audiences as Lt. Joe Bookman,

13:40a "library cop" tenaciously investigating Jerry Seinfeld for a decades-overdue book

13:45on the comedian's titular show. You'll also likely recognize him as the intimidating but

13:50secretly sweet neighbor Walt on "Modern Family," Doctor Morrison on "Curb Your

13:54Enthusiasm," and hippo game show host Hank Hippopopalous on "BoJack Horseman."

14:00Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson also cast Hall in prominent roles in his first

14:04three features — "Hard Eight," "Boogie Nights," and "Magnolia."

14:08According to Hall's daughter, via The Hollywood Reporter,

14:10the actor died at home in Glendale, California, on June 12, 2022. Hall was 90 years old.

14:17A chameleonic and frequently employed character actor, Joe Turkel racked up

14:22a whopping 142 credits over a career that spanned from the late 1940s to the 1990s.

14:29Of course, he's most closely associated with the films of Stanley Kubrick, who cast the

14:33actor in three films. Turkel starred in "The Killing" and "Paths of Glory," but he's most

14:38famous for his appearance in "The Shining," where he played the creepy ghost hotel bartender Lloyd.

14:44Turkel was virtually retired by the 1980s, when Ridley Scott hired him

14:48to play replicant maker Dr. Eldon Tyrell in the 1982 sci-fi classic "Blade Runner."

14:54Other than those major film works, Turkel was a constant presence over decades of television,

14:59with one-shot roles on dozens of memorable shows, including "Miami Vice," "Fantasy

15:04Island," "Kojak," "The Andy Griffith Show," "Bonanza," "Ironside," and "Combat!"

15:09According to Variety, Turkel died in a Santa Monica,

15:11California, hospital on June 27, 2022. He was 94.

15:16One of the best and most definitive actors of his generation, James Caan starred in

15:21some of the most highly regarded films of the latter half of the 20th century.

15:25Usually playing tough guys, criminals, intimidating dudes,

15:28macho men, and inscrutable patriarchs, Caan paid his dues on 1960s TV dramas like "Naked City,"

15:35"The Untouchables," and "Wagon Train." Moving into different roles in the early 1970s, Caan starred

15:41as the title character in the adaptation of John Updike's "Rabbit Run" and played

15:45real-life football player Brian Piccolo in the acclaimed made-for-TV tearjerker "Brian's Song."

15:50"Aye-yuh, sounds like a ball."

15:52He found probably his most iconic role ever as Sonny Corleone in "The Godfather,"

15:58for which he received an Oscar nomination. Later in his career,

16:02Caan would land memorable starring roles in "Alien Nation," "Misery," "Honeymoon in

16:06Vegas," and "Elf," and join the frothy NBC drama "Las Vegas." Sadly, on July 7, 2022,

16:13Caan's family announced on Twitter that the actor died the previous evening. He was 82.

16:19Tony Sirico found the role of his life as Peter Paul Gualtieri, aka Paulie Walnuts,

16:24on HBO's universally acclaimed modern-day Mafia saga "The Sopranos." An explosive, funny,

16:30and loyal lieutenant to mob boss Tony Soprano, Sirico provided comic relief as Paulie Walnuts,

16:37offering up terse one-liners and amusing mispronunciations.

16:41"What do ya hear, what do you say?!"

16:44He played similar characters in "Goodfellas," "Bullets Over Broadway," and "Mighty Aphrodite."

16:49In recent years, and after "The Sopranos" ended, Sirico traded

16:53on his image and tendency to be typecast, playing tough characters on comedy shows,

16:58like a gangster on "American Dad" and a gruff dog on "Family Guy." Sirico's manager confirmed

17:04to media outlets that the actor died on Friday, July 8, 2022. He was 79.

17:10Actor Dale Critchlow, who was best known for playing Lyle the farmer in the offbeat cult

17:14classic "Napoleon Dynamite," died in February 2022, as reported by Deadline. He was 92.

17:21A native of Utah who moved to Idaho in his 30s, Critchlow landed his small but memorable role

17:27by pure chance. The film was shot on location in Idaho, where Critchlow lived and

17:32worked as a real farmer. He needed help with his animals one day, so his wife reached

17:36out to the mother of writer-director Jared Hess. He told East Idaho News,

17:40"My wife called Jared Hess' mother and asked if one of her boys was there.

17:44He came over, and he had a friend with him. I drove the truck out into the pasture,

17:48and the sheep came over. They grabbed those bucks and pushed them into the

17:52truck [...] and then later, he came back and [said], 'I want you to be in my movie.'"

17:56Critchlow became well known in his hometown of Preston after the film became a success,

18:00and was always happy to pose for pictures. He went on to feature in another comedy,

18:052006's "Church Ball," which was considerably less successful. But Critchlow remained famous

18:11for his turn in "Napoleon Dynamite," despite not being overly keen on the film. He said in 2020,

18:17"I thought it was kind of funny in places, and in a few places, it was kind of dragged out."
