BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Glenn Shadix (SHA-dix), the actor best remembered for his portrayal of a portly, pretentious designer in the comedy "Beetlejuice," has died. He was 58.

Personal manager Juliet Green told The Associated Press that the Alabama native died in his Birmingham home Tuesday morning.

Green did not immediately know the cause of death. The actor's sister, Susan Gagne, told The Birmingham News he had been using a wheelchair to get around and he appeared to have fallen in his kitchen and hit his head.

The actor's website says a memorial will be held Saturday in Birmingham.

Shadix starred in the popular 1988 Tim Burton film as a droll interior designer who dabbled in voodoo. He also was a voice actor in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and appeared in dozens of TV shows.

Agreed, it's a good movie. I thought he did a great job acting in Beetle, he was perfect for the part. RIP.

I was trying to picture the guy. and I could see his face...but Beetlejuice wasn't the movie I remember him most from....While he has done quite a lot of different roles...(especially voice overs....) I actually remember him most from his role as "Associate Bob" in Demolition Man....

Quick! Steal his handbook!

Isn't this the same guy that played Bob (the personal assistent) in the movie Demolition Man with Wesley Snipes, Sly Stallone and Sandra Bullock?

That's what I thought.,, Thanks

"I know just as much about the supernatural as I do about interior design."

Wow. Great performance from a great movie. From back when Tim Burton films felt special and not just churned out. Something was lost when it became less stop-motion animation and awesome set design and almost all CGI.

I'd love to see a Beetlejuice sequel w/ all the main characters coming back. But it would HAVE to be directed by Burton and include Alec Baldwin.

Too bad that guy who played Winona Ryder's dad (Principal Rooney in Ferris Buehler) turned out to be a pedophile.
