As a dedicated follower of Hollywood and its enchanting tales, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Scott L. Schwartz, a man who embodied the spirit of camaraderie and resilience on and off the screen. His life was a testament to the power of perseverance, as he transitioned from professional wrestling to acting, leaving an indelible mark in every role he played.
George Clooney is mourning a member of his Ocean’s Eleven team.
Scott L. Schwartz, who was previously an actor and pro wrestler, passed away on November 26 at the age of 65 due to congestive heart failure. This information was confirmed by his representative to Variety. (Paraphrased)
According to the representative’s statement on Variety, people who know Scott describe him as a cheerful individual filled with zest for life. He was also known as a compassionate person, passionate about food and travel. The report continues, stating that Scott adored life and everyone he encountered during his journey. When not engaged in acting, wrestling, or joking around, he dedicated his time to visiting children battling cancer at hospitals for children.
After hearing about his passing, Clooney also expressed condolences by posting a statement about Schwartz’s demise. In this tribute, he reminisced about their collaboration in the Ocean’s series, specifically mentioning that in Ocean’s Eleven, Clooney’s character Danny Ocean hired Schwartz’s Bruiser to stage a sham fight. Schwartz then repeated this role in the subsequent two movies of the heist franchise.
Clooney expressed his sorrow upon learning about Scott’s passing to Variety, saying, ‘We made three movies together, and I’ve never been so softly hit. He was a kind-hearted person, and we’ll deeply miss him.’
Born and raised in Philadelphia, standing at an impressive 6 feet, 10 inches tall, Schwartz embarked on his professional wrestling journey in 1979, initially known as “Giant David” and later adopting the alias “The Israeli Commando” during his time in the sport. Before venturing into Hollywood, he was a prominent figure in the world of wrestling.
Beyond his work as a stuntman, Schwartz also appeared in numerous shows and movies throughout his career. Some of his roles include series like The Mentalist, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Young and the Restless, as well as films such as Fun with Dick and Jane, Starsky & Hutch, and The Scorpion King.
As reported by Variety, he was not only the writer but also the director and actor for the 2010 film “Changing Hands”. This movie featured his Ocean’s Eleven costar, Eddie Jemison.
Schwartz is mourned by his beloved wife, Misty, as well as his children Angela and Adam. Additionally, his mother-in-law Brenda, cousins Sherry and Duwayne, and aunt Penni also share in the sadness of his passing.
Misty shared with The Hollywood Reporter that Schwartz took great pride in his charitable efforts, which were recognized with the Glass Slipper Award from the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Previous recipients of this honor include David Beckham and Gwen Stefani.
Regarding her late husband, she mentioned, ‘Many see Scott as a cinematic figure, but those who knew him intimately saw him as a lively, joyful individual. He was a person of great strength and love, with a passion for food and travel. In truth, he adored life and the people he encountered on his journey.’
