He's one of those actors that if you told me he was dead, I wouldn't have been surprised, but then you go to the theater and in some random role, there he is.

It really messes with me though when someone dies before their last film came out. I watched that Batman movie with a knot in my stomach the whole time.

“He’s so good. But he’s gone. WTF.”

I don’t recall who now but there was some actor whose last film came out more than a year after he died, and that felt messed up and I can’t articulate why.

Paul Walker is probably the most recent one to fall into that category. I believe his character will be in the next Fast and the Furious movie, but it'll be a CGI role (with family members standing in as the body/face they CG-enhance)

Brandon Lee and Paul Walker come to mind. A year delay or more isn't rare, I don't think.

		River Phoenix had a role (Dark Blood) that he OD'd while filming, and it was put on hold, but then eventually finished and released 19 years later.
