Ron Lester -- a formerly overweight actor who had memorable roles as Spatch in "Good Burger" and Reggie Ray in Varsity Blues (both directed by All That co-creator and former Head of the Class star Brian Robbins) -- has died at the age of 45. In recent years, he had been hospitalized and battling liver and kidney problems.
Mr. Lester, who at one point weighed 508 pounds, nearly died after having gastric bypass surgery but recovered and lost more than 300 pounds. After his extreme weight loss, however, he was no longer in demand to play the “fat guy” roles for which he had been known.
“Surgery saved his life,” a 2014 profile on the website Grantland said. “It also ended his career.”
He has a couple of recent credits on IMDB: Racing Legacy (2015) and Bomb City (filming).
RIP Spatch.
