Comedian Taylor Negron has sadly died at the age of 57 following a long battle with cancer.
The news was broken by his cousin Chuck Negron in a video he posted online, according to Deadline.
I want to inform you that my cousin Taylor Negron has just passed away. His mother, his brother Alex and my brothers wife Renee were all there with him. May he rest in peace, he said in the clip.
Taylor is well known for his roles in the films Fast Times at Ridgemont High as Mr. Pizza Guy, Easy Money as Rodney Dangerfields son-in-law, and the villain in The Last Boy Scout.
We send out our thoughts and condolences to Taylors loved ones during this difficult time.
Not exactly Bruce Willis’ shining moment. There was a funny scene when the bad guys are torturing him and he says “you wanna torture me? play some rap music!”

Negron was good as ‘Albert Emperator’ (sp?) in the ‘88 movie “Punchline” starring Tom Hanks.
That’s too young to die. Sincere condolences to his family, friends and fans.
Not quite uncanny but close enough. Ironically, Stoller has tweeted his condolences.
His last name is racist.
Chuck was really messed up in the 80s with drugs, but got clean.
In my sleep, unlike the screaming passengers in my car. ;)
Yeah him and the keyboard player ended up in rehab.
Rip Taylor? Oh oh, here we go.
Loved him in One Crazy Summer. One of those faces from the 80s and love the Seinfeld reference. Give the guy a break. RIP.
An oldie but a very goodie.
“I enjoyed his cameo as The Pizza Guy in Fast Times At Ridgemont High.”
You need to watch the movie again, he had much more than a cameo. Sex in the pool house with Jennifer Jason Leigh’s character, for example
Uh, no. Two different characters and actors.
I stand corrected, and he did not, in fact, play that sleaze. Thanks.
