Life imitates art.
A veteran character actor who achieved cult-like status as fraternity brother "Blue" in the hit comedy "Old School" has died.
Patrick Cranshaw was 86.
His manager says Cranshaw died of natural causes Wednesday at his home in Fort Worth, Texas.
He appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows over a career spanning nearly 50 years.
He was probably best known as the elderly frat boy Joseph "Blue" Palasky in "Old School."
In the 2003 comedy, he is about to wrestle two topless girls but dies of an apparent heart attack from overexcitment. At Blue's funeral, Will Ferrell's character calls out in agony: "You're my boy, Blue!"
Fans would yell the signature line whenever they saw the actor and erected Web sites paying homage to Cranshaw's "Old School" character.
