We’re heartbroken to share the loss of Nicky Katt, the electrifying talent behind Clint Bruno in *Dazed and Confused*, who passed away at 54 on April 8, 2025, in Burbank, California. From his breakout as the beer-chugging bully in Richard Linklater’s 1993 cult classic to stealing scenes in *Boiler Room*, *The Limey*, and *School of Rock*, Katt’s raw edge and versatility lit up screens. A child actor turned indie king, he collaborated with giants like Steven Soderbergh, Christopher Nolan, and Quentin Tarantino, while his three-season run as fiery teacher Harry Senate on *Boston Public* (2000-2002) showed his depth. Born May 11, 1970, in South Dakota, Katt’s career kicked off at age 7 on *CHiPs*, leading to a five-decade sprint through roles as tough guys and oddballs—think *Sin City*’s Stuka or *Friends*’ couch-hogging bully. Fans and peers are flooding social media with love: producer Beau Flynn called him “seriously talented,” while director Robert Rodriguez praised his prep and humor that made characters “pop off the screen.” Though his cause of death remains undisclosed, confirmed by attorney John Sloss to outlets like *Variety*, Katt’s legacy—gritty, fearless, and unforgettable—lives on. Rest in peace, Nicky. Drop your favorite role below to keep his spirit rocking!
