A bit actor who appeared in the first "Austin Powers" movie is suspected in the death of his cellmate at the California prison where he is serving a life sentence, corrections officials said Tuesday.

Joseph Son , 40, wore a bowler hat and played one of Dr. Evil's henchmen, named Random Task, in 1997's "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery." He also was a mixed martial arts fighter who appeared in several other movies or videos in the 1990s, according to his Hollywood biography.

He arrived at Wasco State Prison in the state's Central Valley on Sept. 16 after he was sentenced in Orange County for the 1990 gang rape of a Southern California woman.

The dead inmate was a parole violator serving a new two-year sentence from San Luis Obispo County for failing to register as a sex offender. He was found dead Monday in the cell he shared with Son.

The death was being treated as a homicide, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Terry Thornton said.

How many cellmates did he have that he’s just a ‘suspect’?

Rapist kills sex offender. Prison can be tough.

So, he got a death sentence.

The Death Race format would be far more entertaining.

Hmmm...funny I was looking up the killer from "The 40 year Old Virgin" Shelley Malil. I forgot about the Random Task guy. What is it with Hollywood second tier actors? Heck, "Bubba" from Forrest Gump is a dirtbag.

Had his head been knocked off by a thrown shoe?

LOL No kidding.

“Bubba” kind of dropped off the map after the attempted manslaughter case.

You too must have your Bubba’s confused. Mykelti Williamson aka Bubbba was failed head of CTU Brian Hastings in the last season of 24. The same season when Hank Hills neighbor Bill Deutriv played a parole officer who got planted in the meeting room wall of CTU by the evil Dana Walsh. Since CTU was always compromised regarless of which season it was (sometimes compromised more than once in a season), Bill’s body was never found. Dale Gribble is still in mourning.
