Beans Morocco, 'Used Cars' and 'Eating Raoul' Actor, Dies at 90

Source: MSN

Story by Mike Barnes • 5h

Beans Morocco, the comic character actor who showed up in everything from Blazing Saddles, Used Cars and Eating Raoul to episodes of Mork & Mindy, The Bob Newhart Show and Growing Pains, has died. He was 90.

Morocco died May 29 in Bakersfield, California, his friend Ryan Wise told The Hollywood Reporter. For his final film, he starred as an ex-con on his own after decades in the Federal Witness Protection Program in Killing Cookie (2024), a comedy that Wise wrote and directed.

"He was always performing - always entertaining - and he made everyone feel good," Wise said.

Going by birth name Dan Barrows until he adopted his quirky stage name in the late 1980s, the pint-sized actor also appeared in such other noteworthy films as Clint Eastwood's Any Which Way You Can (1980), Howard Storm's Once Bitten (1985), Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) and Rob Reiner's The American President (1995).

He's rather obscure, not a national treasure.
