BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - Paul Gleason, who played the go-to bad guy in Trading Places and the angry high school principal in The Breakfast Club, has died. He was 67.
Gleason died at a local hospital Saturday of mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer linked to asbestos, said his wife, Susan Gleason.

Wow, I think he was at the MTV appearance when they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the movie.

Was he the principal? I thought he was just the dean of students.

It was awesome when that dude would show the horns!
