Veteran actor Orson Bean died Friday night after he was reportedly struck by multiple vehicles in Los Angeles. He was 91.
The “Being John Malkovich” actor was crossing Venice Boulevard around 7:35 p.m. when a “car coming westbound did not see him and clipped him,” Los Angeles Police Department Captain Brian Wendling told ABC7.
A second driver, who “was distracted by people trying to slow him down” then fatally struck Bean, Wendling said.
Bean was just feet from his destination, the Venice Resident Theatre, when he was killed. His wife of 27 years, actress Alley Mills, was reportedly inside the theatre at the time, friends told the station.
Distraught witnesses were seen consoling each other, while one of the drivers believed to have hit Bean tried to help him. Both drivers stayed on the scene, and investigators reportedly believe the crash was an accident.
Bean reached the height of his acting career in the 1960s and ’70s and often appeared on televised game shows. His TV roles included “The Twilight Zone,” “Modern Family,” “Desperate Housewives, “Hot in Cleveland” and “Grace & Frankie.”
One of his final film roles was portraying a Holocaust survivor in “The Equalizer 2” in 2018.
Bean recently performed alongside Mills, 68, in a Santa Monica play that ended its run last week.
In addition to Mills, Bean is survived by his four children, Michele, Max, Susannah and Ezekiel Bean.
