Scott L. Schwartz, a popular wrestler-turned-actor, best known for his role in “Ocean’s Eleven,” died at the age of 65.
Schwartz died of congestive heart failure at his home in Covington, Louisiana, Nov. 26, according to multiple reports. His death was confirmed by his wife, Misty, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Most people associate Scott with the movies, but those who know him personally associated him with being a jolly person, so full of life, a strong loving person, foodie and travel aficionado,” Misty told the publication.
“I’m sorry to hear that Scott is gone. We did three films together and I’ve never been so gently punched. He was a gentle soul and he will be dearly missed,” George Clooney said of Schwartz in a statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
