He was famous for his role in the iconic film
British-American actor Stephen Hibbert, best known for his role as The Gimp in Pulp Fiction, has passed away at 68.
Hibbert died on Monday of a heart attack, his family have revealed in a statement.
An emotional statement following his death was shared by his children, Ronnie, Rosalind and Greg.
They told TMZ that “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 added.
The actor also appeared on films like Austin Powers and The Cat in the Hat.
However, his most iconic role was unarguably in the Oscar-winning Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction, where he played the terrifying Gimp who terrorises Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames.
Born in Fletwood, England, Hibbert began his showbiz career in the 1980s, working on Late Night With Letterman.
Hibbert isn’t the only member of the Pulp Fiction cast to die recently, as Peter Greene, who played Zed, last year died from an accidentally self-inflicted gunshot wound.
