AUSTIN, Texas —  A man who allegedly told police he stole a car and believed the owner was dead was charged with killing a Texas actor.

Austin police Friday identified the victim as 67-year-old Lou Perryman.

Perryman appeared in "The Blues Brothers," "Boys Don't Cry" and "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town."

Police charged 26-year-old Seth Christopher Tatum with capital murder, plus aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in another attack.

Sgt. Joseph Chacon says Tatum showed up at a jail facility Thursday and said he was "pretty sure" he had killed the owner of a vehicle he had stolen. Police later found Perryman's body at a home.

Investigators say they do not believe Tatum and Perryman knew each other.

A jail official didn't know whether Tatum had an attorney.

Terrible indeed. I read this the other day over on another forum, and it's just unreal.

He was superb in TCM2, and his memorable character roles in other films over the years. He didn't have a huge screen acting resume, but at least he'll live on through that body of work.
