“Rufus The Stunt Bum” Hannah –
Stuntman, humanitarian, alcoholic.
November 27, 1954 – October 4, 2017
Aged 62 years.
Most recognized for: Paid in pocket change and malt liquor to punch and prank other homeless drunks, Rufus was the star of the incendiary Bumfights film series. After filing suit against the producers in 2003, Mr. Hannah cleaned up his act and became an advocate for homeless rights. Sobriety and regular bathing was working out well for him… until an 18 wheeler put him back on the street. All over the street.
