Damn, first we lost #MichelleTrachtenberg last year to liver rejection following a transplant, then #MalcolmJamalWarner, and now we've lost #NicholasBrendon. Apparently he was suffering from heart failure, although what caused it we can only guess. Covid, probably, as it does cause heart damage. In any case, the guy went far too early.

Incidentally, when it comes to which actor played the part(s): in the plays, there are all sorts of wild things.

When #AlanAyckbourn directed one of the plays in 1968, Nigel Forde played both the Guardian of the Gate and Uncle Henry. The Wizard was a different actor.

In the NPR+L.A. Children's Museum centennial audio dramatization, John Goodman played (only) the Guardian of the Gates. Harry Anderson was the Wizard. (And #MichelleTrachtenberg was Dorothy.)

It is difficult to include John Goodman and Munchkin-sized in the same sentence without some form of negative. (-:

One could perform Elizabeth Fuller Chapman's 1928 play with the Guardian of the Gates and the Wizard as the same person, although there is one point in act 3 where it is implied that they are on stage together.
