R.I.P. Ben Woolf

Ben Woolf, an actor known for his small but memorable roles in American Horror Story and Insidious, was injured Thursday, February 19, 2015 when he was struck in the head by a rear-view mirror by a car while jaywalking. He died Monday, February 23. He was diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism as a child, which caused his bones to shrink. He used acting as a side job, mostly taking smaller roles in documentaries and horror projects, as his primary occupation was as a preschool teacher. He donated his organs to three women, saving their lives, as he was a registered donor. Ryan Murphy, creator of American Horror Story among other series, has offered to pay for the funeral expenses to assist his family, and all of his AHS co-stars and fellow crew members have spoken very highly of him, sighting his kindness, innocence, and the inspiration he provided. Never has a relatively unknown actor's death left such an impact.
