You were a great guy
omg i love u soo much u made an amazing Mr.Noodle and i dont think anyone could ever replace u!
I just think he was the sweetest little thing. It came through in all his roles and that is just something you can not fake. I would of loved to have met him and felt that sincerity first hand. God Bless him so much.
RIP, Michael. You were a very talented man. I saw you in ‘Tango & Cash’, Drop Zone’, etcetera
I was just watching ‘The Fisher King’, and I remembered what a great actor Michael Jeter was. I looked him up on Wikipedia, and what I saw was lots of films where he worked with the same people; Robin Williams in ‘The Fisher King’ and ‘Patch Adams’, Terry Gilliam on ‘The Fisher King’ and ‘Fear And Loathing’, Tom Hanks on ‘Polar Express’ and ‘The Green Mile’. Sounds like people were either happy to work with him again and again, or recommend him to their friends. Says a lot about the kind of actor and person he must have been. RIP.
I found all your characters amazingly memorable. I especially loved you on “Evening Shade” with Burt Reynolds. “The Green Mile” was another favorite, but my all-time fav was your last work in “The Polar Express.” Thanks for your honesty about your lifestyle, as well. You are greatly missed.
Seen so many movies with him you in them. You were great!
To mention a few more Jurrasic Park 3 and Air Bud
isnt he the lil french guy in the green mile? i loved that lil french guy in that … rip
JUST WATCH DROP ZONE WITH WESLEY SNIPES & MICHAEL JETER’S ALWAYS LIKE HIS ACTING (RIP)
you always added that thing to everything you did. no one can ever really explain what that thing is but some people have it and you had it. you will be missed and we will forever cherish your memeory.
i just watched air bud yesterday and looked him up and found out he passed. but it says his death was unknown so if anyone was wandering he died from an epileptic seizure
Always a joy to watch, I was saddened in 2003 to learn of Michael’s passing. I knew he was HIV but his positive attitude and delightful persona were a reminder that, with a strong attitude and love of life, one can still LIVE. RIP
I remember seeing you at the Circuit Playhouse in Memphis in the early days. Your performance in The Fisher King was an exuberant masterpiece! And SO many young people will never forget Mr. Noodle. You are sorely missed, my man!
You will be missed. I loved you in every movie I saw you in. May you rest in peace.
Micheal jeater you r my idol and I loved your acting in Jurassic park 3 and air bud you rock and god bless u. Rip
woow ima misses michael a.k.a mr.noodle but he played on other awsome movies…i wonder how he died..wow so sad he always made me laugh on sesame street….
An amazing talent,i remember “Del”in the Green Mile and The Fisher King well and fondly.Rest in peace.
You will be missed.
He was good in green mile and open range. Hate that he’s dead but changed my thoughts towards him when I found out he was a queer with aids. Too bad his high quality acting life didn’t match his personal life.
Fear && loathing && the green mile 2 of my favorite movies you was amazing RIP
Your roles in film and television always reminded me of how great actors (not just the handsome and buffed)CAN have a successful career in acting. RIP, Michael.
I just got done watching THE POLAR EXSPRESS and seen they had him up at the end of the movie. I don’t watch much tv and did not know he died. he always put a smile on my face in everything he did. he is missed much. THE GREENMILE my favorite.
You always made me smile. Rest in peace, Micael. I bet you make a hell of an angel!
I just learned of his death a few moments ago while watching the ending credits of The Polar Express. I will miss “Mr. Noodles’ brother, Mr. Noodles”. My daughter loved his character from Sesame Street.
RIP Mr. Noodles.
one of my best actor…like plaza sesamo….polar expres….wow..bye mr, noodle
I had no idea Jeter had been gone since 2003. There will never be another like you Michael. My kids grew up watching you on Sesame Street as Mr. Noodle and regularly went into a fit of giggles at your antics.
