Steve Reevis
Actor, Blackfoot, typecasted Tonto.
August 14, 1962 – December 7, 2017.
Aged 55 years.

Most recognized for: Steve picked up bit parts here & there when a script called for a large Indian fella (casino, not slurpee.) However, his biggest role was as parolee & Gustafson Motors garage mechanic Shep Proudfoot in the Coen brothers’ classic “Fargo”… where he got to belt-beat Steve Buscemi’s character Carl for calling him after bedtime.
