Gavin Smith (film studio executive) Anniversaire, Date de Naissance
Gavin Smith (December 10, 1954 – May 2012) was an American college basketball star, actor, stuntman, and film studio executive, formerly a regional manager of distribution for 20th Century Fox for 18 years. He disappeared under suspicious circumstances in 2012, and was later declared dead before his remains were found in 2014 and a suspect identified and convicted in 2017 for Smith's murder.
Prior to his film industry career, Smith played basketball at UCLA, where he was part of the 1975 team that won that year's NCAA championship, the last for coach John Wooden. Smith later played at Hawaii, where he set the school's single-season scoring record of 23.4 points per game which remained undefeated as of 2012. He also worked as a film stuntman and occasional actor, prominently with a small role as a bartender in Cobb, the 1994 biopic of baseball player Ty Cobb.
On the night of May 1, 2012, Smith left a friend's house in Oak Park, where he had been staying due to reported marital difficulties. When he failed to pick up one of his sons for school the next morning, Smith's family reported him missing. Two years later, with Smith still missing and no evidence of his presence anywhere past the night of his disappearance, he was retroactively declared legally dead. Several months later, on October 26, 2014, hikers chanced upon Smith's remains near Palmdale in the Antelope Valley.
In January 2015, John Lenzie Creech was arrested and charged with Smith's murder. Creech was a convicted drug dealer who had begun an eight-year prison sentence on that charge shortly after Smith disappeared. Smith had reportedly been romantically involved with Creech's wife Chandrika Cade-Creech. Creech's attorney said the death was a "tragic accident". According to testimony before the grand jury that indicted Creech on the murder charge, he allegedly beat Smith to death after catching him and his wife together. Creech was convicted of voluntary manslaughter on July 3, 2017.
