    Vinton created the "Claymation" technique of producing animation using clay figures which are filmed a frame at a time and repositioned ever-so-slightly before each successive shot. Claymation has been used in hundreds of commercials, movies and tv shows. The commercials featuring the California Raisins and the Domino's Pizza Noid were claymation. In the 1990s, Vinton started combining claymation with CGI and created the ads with the talking Red & Yellow M&M's. He also worked on the special effects for the Disneyland/Walt Disney World 3D film Captain EO starring Michael Jackson.

    Scott Wilson played veterinarian Hershel Greene in seasons 2, 3 and 4 of The Walking Dead. His character died in the final episode of season 4. Today Wilson died for real, just minutes after writer/producer Angela Kang announced that he would return in season 9. Eek! Among Wilson's many movie appearances: Junebug, Judge Dredd, Pearl Harbor, The Great Gatsby, The Last Samurai, Dead Man Walking and In The Heat Of The Night.

    The Records formed in 1977 in London and released four albums before breaking up. Their only US hit was Starry Eyes in 1979. Wicks, the band's lead singer and guitarist, was also a record (no pun intended) producer. After moving to the US in 1994, he formed a new group of Records and released four more albums of new material.

    John Wicks, lead singer of British power-pop band The Records, has died
