I'm only familiar with him in the movie "Back to School" which he did a great job in acting as this movie is a favorite of mine from my youth. It's kind of sad and pathetic that his death was a result from a fall. But things like this happen and it's just sometimes an unavoidable senseless accident. A terrible tragedy. Most of the rest of the main cast from this movie have passed away as well. RIP Paxton: Paxton Whitehead, Actor Who Found Humor in the Stodgy, Dies at 85
Rest easy, Mr. Whitehead. I love these scenes from The West Wing. (Wish it was uploaded in the correct aspect ratio, but...)
Paxton Whitehead also starred in the "1 season wonder" Marblehead Manor back in 1987-8. Would be nice if Paramount would stream the series officially or even released a DVD set.
Always an interesting actor. I saw him onstage about 20 years ago in My Fair Lady with John Lithgow. RIP
