'Old School' actor Pat Cranshaw dead at 86 (http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20051230-012359-5630r)

FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Actor Patrick Cranshaw, who played the elder fraternity brother "Blue" in "Old School," has died in Fort Worth, Texas. He was 86.

Cranshaw died of natural causes Wednesday at his home, the Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

Cranshaw was a popular character actor but his star really rose in the twilight of his career with roles in "Herbie: Fully Loaded" and the "Air Bud" movies.

But it was his scene-stealing turn as "Blue" in the hit Will Farrell comedy "Old School" that turned Cranshaw into a bonified Hollywood star, the newspaper noted.

Cranshaw could hardly go anywhere without hearing Ferrell's signature line from the film, "You're my boy, Blue," his daughter told the newspaper. "It's like he became a rock star in his 80s."

Cranshaw had recently returned home to Fort Worth from shooting another installment in the "Air Bud" series.

He is survived by two daughters and one son.

I read the subject and thought, "Didn't Don Cherry's dog die about ten years ago?"
