DAVID GRAF – HEART ATTACK

David Graf became famous thanks to his role as Sgt. Eugene Tackleberry in the Police Academy film series that became popular during the mid to late ’80s. He first started his career in acting after dropping out of college in 1975. Graf almost fell into bankruptcy at one point in his life, but he managed to avoid it and even became a contestant on the game show The $20,000 Pyramid. Things got better from that point, and his financial struggle came to an end. His career in Hollywood also took flight.

The actor passed way nine days before his 51st birthday due to a heart attack. As it had been a sudden occurrence, it caused deep shock to his family and his colleagues. For many who admired his work, Graf will live on in the work that he has done. His contributions to the industry will remain his legacy, for decades to come.
