Actor and one-year Air Force Academy student Clarence Gilyard, Jr. died at the age of 66 from undisclosed causes after a long and reasonably successful Hollywood career spanning TV shows like “Walker, Texas Ranger” and “Matlock”, as well as fan favorites like Christmas movie “Die Hard” and of course AW1Ed’s beloved “Top Gun”.<\/p>\n

Jason Smith wrote: “Oh my goodness. Clarence Gilyard Jr. Die Hard, Top Gun. Legendary roles. Legendary career. And a beloved UNLV professor. R.I.P.”<\/p>\n

Screenwriter Ben Trebilcook typed: “Sad to learn of the passing of Professor Clarence Gilyard.<\/p>\n

“A terrific actor, too, whom of course played Theo in #DieHard, a surviving character I brought back in my Die Hard 6.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Die Hard 6? Thought the last one was 5…and wondered why they did that. In any case: Mr. Gilyard most recently played the real-life role of film and drama Professor at UNLV.<\/p>\n

No word yet on Ed’s mourning period or if he will retire his personal tribute Rayban 3513s.<\/p>\n
