A.I. Bezzerides

Via Sarah, here's an obituary for the crime-fiction writer and screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides, who died recently.

Bezzerides made a cameo appearance in one of the movies he wrote, On Dangerous Ground (directed by Nicholas Ray). He's the bald guy with glasses who appears at the very beginning of this clip and has a dialogue exchange with Robert Ryan toward the end of the clip; he's playing a pimp who offers Ryan a bribe.
