Glenn Shadix

Glenn Shadix is one of those character actors whose face you know long before you learn the name. To me he'll always be Otho, the pretentious interior designer in Beetlejuice, all arched eyebrows and withering disdain, then the Mayor of Halloween Town in The Nightmare Before Christmas, a two-faced civic puppet that somehow felt warm. That range, live action and voice, comedy and menace, is exactly what makes a Tim Burton ensemble work. He came out of Alabama and Birmingham-Southern College, far from Hollywood. Losing him in 2010 felt early. He gave villains and oddballs a humanity that lingered well past the credits.
