Ed Gale, may have been a little person in real life, but he had a big impact on the world of cinema. He made his movie debut in Howard the Duck and then went on to play Chucky in Child’s Play and two more movies in the franchise after that. He was 61.
His niece Kayse Gale broke the sad news on Facebook, “It is with a heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin (see what I did there?) that we announce the sudden passing of our uncle, Ed Gale. Ed Gale has taken his final bow and is now headlining in the afterlife. Ed hitched a ride to California when he was twenty years old, with $41 and a dream, and he never looked back. He lit up the silver screens in cult classic films like Howard the Duck and Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, earning himself some serious street cred at every con he attended. Which he never stopped bragging about. Ever.

Over the course of his career he appeared in over 130 movies, TV shows, and commercials. With this wide ranging body of work, he leaves behind legacy full of questionable lighting and amazing one-liners.
Ed’s favorite role was that of the “fun uncle.” His love language was sharing his love of the entertainment industry and the magic of Hollywood with his nieces.
Ed loved 7 eleven hotdogs with disgusting amounts of ketchup. He enjoyed reminiscing about his glory days DJing at the Plainwell roller rink. He hated Bill Maher for no good reason. He delighted in the slow build up of telling a good story, and cheating at cribbage. He had one hell of a laugh, and he will be missed.
Rest in love you cranky bastard 
Final arrangements are pending.”
Our condolences to his family and friends for their loss.
