I felt sadness come over me upon hearing of the passing of Martin Mull. I didn’t know Mr. Mull. I never had an opportunity to meet Mr. Mull. But I appreciated his work, and as a big fan of one of his most well-known films- CLUE, the underrated murder mystery film based on the popular board game, it was sad to hear that a cast member from one of your favorite films passed away. In CLUE, Mull played Colonel Mustard, one of the six iconic suspects to be accused of murder. Mull’s performance as Colonel Mustard was a master class of humor, subtle drama and slapstick, mixed with effortless delivery of some memorable dialogue. Spoiler Alert: In the end it was revealed that it was Colonel Mustard with the wrench, in the lounge.
Ringside Report sends our condolences to Martin Mull’s family during their time of grief.
