FAREWELL AND R.I.P. FRANK DOUBLEDAY!

FRANK DOUBLEDAY 1945-2018

Actor Frank Doubleday played “Romero” one of Escape From N.Y.’s most infamous characters and the “White Warlord” in John Carpenter’s earlier Assault on Precinct 13. Sad word came out tonight, via his wife, that he passed away on March 3rd after a battle with cancer. His characterization of the eccentric Manhattan Island Prison inmate in Carpenter’s classic set the tone for the entire film and instantly made him an 80s movie icon. Doubleday, who was 73, also appeared in the 1985 action sequel Avenging Angel.
