Most of us knew Crux as the quiet guy. The guy who only spoke when he truly felt he had something worth saying.
The fact is, Crux was the quiet guy for a reason... being an extra in Hollywood requires you blend in and don't stand out. He once told me his only social footprint online was being a member here on PNF. He lived in Los Angeles and, during the fires out there he had major fires both East and West of his location. The last we spoke, he said the smoke was really bad. His home did not burn, but he did pass away Jan. 14, 2025 in his home from suspected cardiac issues.
I do know his name, but I feel like he was such a private man that I should keep his secret. What I can tell you is what he himself posted here over the years! He was an "extra" in Hollywood, both on TV and the movies. He was one of Jack Sparrow's pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean (2007), he was in War of the Worlds (2005), and he was also in Law & Order, ER, Arrest and Trial, and many other productions. We've probably all seen him many times somewhere on TV or in the movies. He also was a writer for Tattletales and a few other game shows, and did work within the art departments for sets and scenery.
Crux also loved cameras, and by that I mean collecting and using them, especially anything vintage. And telescopes...which is why his avatar was one of holding a telescope and searching the stars. May you Rest In Peace, my dear man, with those stars shining brightly around you.
