Actor James Handy, 81, who appeared in Top Gun: Maverick and Jumanji, was stabbed to death outside his home. Police said the attacker was the son of Handy’s girlfriend and that officers arrested him at the scene; a 911 call captured the incident. Handy had a decades-long career as a character actor with credits including Taps, and he continued taking roles into his 80s. The violent circumstances and arrest make this a criminal homicide case and mark the sudden loss of a familiar supporting actor from recent major films.
