Sorry for your loss, Dazed and Confused is one of my all time favourite movies. Thank you for choosing to talk about it, I do have a few questions. What was your relationship like with your uncle? Were he and your mom close growing up? Did he ever talk about his time on set or have interesting stories about some of the actors he worked with, or the industry in general? More on reddit.com

RIP Nicky Katt, Atton Rand from KOTOR 2, committed suicide a couple weeks ago. I haven't seen anyone talk about this here and I think it's crazy. :(
It got posted when it happened. He was a good actor. Sad that he went so young. More on reddit.com

r/AMA on Reddit: I am Nicky Katt’s nephew. AMA
January 7, 2025 -

My uncle (mother’s half brother) was Hollywood actor Nicky Katt, and we are dealing with his estate over the upcoming month or two. As a service to him and his fans, I’d like to answer any questions anybody has about him, his career, his death, and what the plan is concerning his end-of-life arrangements. I will try to update this as much as possible as I get new information.

Edit: To clarify, I’m answering a lot of these questions as a proxy for my mother who was in regular contact with him and met up with him many times over the last 40 years. She is not the best with Reddit, so I am doing it for/with her. I did not want to make my original post “my mother is Nicky Katt’s sister.”
