Eric "The Actor" Lynch, 39, whose fear of werewolves, love of professional wrestling, and angry rants endeared him to fans of Howard Stern's radio show for more than a decade, died Friday at a hospital in Sacramento, Calif.

Mr. Lynch, who stood just 3 feet tall and used a wheelchair to get around, suffered from numerous height-related health problems. He said doctors had told his parents he likely wouldn't live past age 14.

"I truly loved him," Stern said Monday on his radio show. "What I loved about him was, here was this guy afflicted with every . . . thing on the planet, you couldn't have gotten worse luck dealt to you, and Eric didn't view it that way." - AP
