We have tragic news to report out of Hollywood today.
Stephen Hibbert — a character actor who appeared in some of the biggest films of the 1990s — has passed away.
He was just 68 years old.
News of Hibbert’s death comes courtesy of a statement from his three children, Ronnie, Rosalind, and Greg.
“Our father, Stephen Hibbert, passed away unexpectedly this week. His life was full of love and dedication to the arts and his family. He will be dearly missed by many,” they wrote.
According to a report from TMZ, Hibbert died of a heart attack in Denver on Monday.
After starting his career as a writer for shows like Late Night with David Letterman, Mad TV, and Boy Meets World, Hibbert made the acquaintance of Quentin Tarantino while they were both performing with improv troupe the Groundlings.
“Quentin and I acted out a master and slave scenario for the casting director,” he recalled in a 2024 interview with AARP (via Page Six).
“He bossed me around the office and I groveled. I felt like I’d been training all of my work life for an opportunity to audition for a role like that. Whee!”
That performance led to Hibbert’s most iconic role:
Though he never showed his face and didn’t have a single line of dialogue, Hibbert made quite an impression as “the Gimp” in the 1994 classic Pulp Fiction.
More than 30 years later, Hibbert’s scene remains one of the most referenced and parodied in the entire film.
Later in his career, Hibbert worked as a “script doctor,” punching up the screenplays of such modern classics as Shrek and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
He also had a small role in the latter film.
Again, Hibbert was not exactly an A-list housegold name. But his impressive contributions to some of the biggest film and television projects of the 1990s and 2000s deserve to be acknowledged.
Our thoughts go out to Hibbert’s friends and family during his incredibly difficult time.

As you’ve almost certainly heard by now, Britney Spears was arrested on DUI charges this week.
Britney was only in police custody for a few hours, but it looks as though her legal troubles are just beginning.
According to a new report from TMZ, pills were found in Britney’s car when she was pulled over.
Those pills are now being tested by police in order to determine their chemical composition.
Now, if no illicit substances are found, then Brit probably won’t wind up serving any jail time.
After all, this is her first DUI offense, and while she’s had previous brushes with the law, she’s never been convicted of any crimes.
Typically, first offenders are not forced to serve time. But if Britney was in possession of controlled substances at the time of her arrest, that’s a different story.
Britney recently took a trip to Mexico, and insiders tell TMZ that she obtained Adderall while she was there.
If the pills are found to contain pure Adderall, then Ms. Spears is in the clear.
But if the pills are adulterated in any way — a common practice in Mexican pharmacies — then Brit might be in trouble.
Whatever the case, she’s due back in court in May, at which time, she’ll enter her plea for the DUI charge — and any additional charges that she might be facing.
As TMZ points out, Brit has been to rehab before, and this incident might be enough to inspire her to check back in.
Her blood test showed a BAC of .06, which is below the legal limit of .08.
But police say Britney was driving erratically, and the pills might be taken as evidence that she had other substances in her body in addition to the alcohol.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life,” Britney’s manager, Cade Hudson, tells TMZ.
“Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Raise my taxes and close my school

Friends, from my view, it doesn’t look so good in the Valley these days…
Property tax assessment notices are up everywhere in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, even for swampy lots that have not increased in real value, while the school district considers school closures in the face of a $23 million deficit.
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District is proposing to close three local neighborhood schools to save $4.5 million next year.
What’s another solution? Cut administrative positions. A typical administrator makes well over $100,000 and with benefits the cost is between $150,000 – $200,000 for each position. When I was School Board President, albeit a while ago, I saw these numbers myself because I requested that I sign all administrative contracts over $100,000 — there were a lot! Cutting administrative positions, mostly by not filling positions, will make a huge difference.
The main problem with school budgets is that they are prepared by the administration… and we all know administrators, directors and assistant superintendents won’t cut their own positions. They cut teachers.
School Boards don’t generally change the budget that much. A lot is contingent on the amount of borough and state school funding needed to save the schools, so on we go with the status quo.
Self-Inflicted
In the Valley, we appear to be drifting without a plan. Last year the school district and the borough got voter approval for $94.4 million of new school bonds with high interest rates. This year brings the possibility of closed schools, bigger class sizes, new bond debt payments and higher property taxes.
Taking on more debt to build new schools while closing traditional schools is an incredibly poor utilization of resources. Apparently, no one ran the numbers of future operating costs for our schools or thought about multiple-use of school buildings. No policy. No direction. It’s not rocket science. Elected officials should step up and think outside the box.
