Jonathan Haze Dies: Seymour In Original ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ & Longtime Roger Corman Collaborator Was 95


Jonathan Haze, who played Seymour in Roger Corman's 'The Little Shop of Horrors' during a screen career that lasted more than 50 years, died November 2 at 91.

That same year, he cast Haze in The Fast and the Furious and then as Billy Candy in the 1955 western Five Guns West, starring John Lund and Dorothy Malone. Plant food fails to provide enough nourishment for the rather strange flora, but things change when Seymour cuts his finger and drips blood on Audrey Jr. Haze also wrote screenplays for the 1962 feature Invasion of the Star Creatures and a 1960 “Family Skeleton” episode of 77 Sunset Strip and went on to enjoy a long career producing commercials.
