25 Movie Talents We Lost In 2016

Comedian, sitcom writer and actor Garry Shandling is probably better known for his television career during which he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, on his own talk show parody The Larry Sanders Show and as a frequent host of the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Let’s not forget his film career either, though: he appeared in comedies including Dr Dolittle and Zoolander, voiced the character of Verne in DreamWorks’ 2006 animation Over the Hedge and scored a bit part in the Sacha Baron Cohen penned black comedy The Dictator.

Recently he played the smarmy Senator Stern in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier and made his final film appearance as the voice of Ikki the porcupine in Jon Favreau’s new take on The Jungle Book.
