Ron Lester, whose husky character Billy Bob provided much of the comic relief in the 1999 Texas high-school football drama Varsity Blues, died Friday of organ failure. He was 45.
On Saturday, his agent, Dave Bradley, told the Associated Press that liver and kidney problems had kept Lester in the hospital since February and that he was taken off life support Friday. He died shortly thereafter.
