Sad to hear this...he was one of those actors, whose real name you may not know, but his face was so familiar, as he could turn up in any series or movie...that the thing about so many of these character actors...they do such fine work, and lend such a rich background in which the 'leading' actors and actresses work...

If it were not for the whole range of character actors in flms and TV, the leading actors would find themselves at a great loss...

Prayers for Paul Gleason and for his family...

I'm very sorry to see this. Such a young-ish man. I can't remember what I saw him in, but his face is very familiar.

I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus.

This is a sad loss. He was a great character actor.

Oh man, he was great. He made me laugh just as hard in 'Not Another Teen Movie'. RIP, Paul.

the angry high school principal in "The Breakfast Club,"

Just caught this film on TV the other day. A classic to 30-somethings like myself.

Most recently, he made a handful of television appearances in hit shows such as "Friends" and "Seinfeld."

What episode was that?

RIP Principal Vernon.

Not to speak poorly of the dead, but I just realized that when this scene from "The Breakfast Club" was shot in 1984, Paul was only 45. Now that I'm only 7 years away from that, I really have to wonder what he did in his life to put that kind of milage....

This sucks. Fun guy to watch on the screen.

qam1, this has got to be a Gen X heads up. Breakfast Club did a good job of defining us in the 1980s.

One of my favorite scenes from The Breakfast Club, when he walks out of the men's room with the toiletprotectorsheet tucked into his pants ... hilarious!! RIP.

Good actor. 67 is a lot younger than it used to be.
