“Michael was, and will likely forever remain, the best actor I’ve ever known,” Smith says alongside pictures of the actor and him. “I wrote both [Red State] and [Tusk] FOR Parks, I loved his acting so much. He was, hands-down, the most incredible thespian I ever had the pleasure to watch perform.”
“My favourite memory of Michael is watching him and [Johnny Depp] act with and at each other, like a couple of dueling wizards, in their shared scene in Tusk,” Smith continues. “Parks was in Heaven that day, sharing the screen with another brilliant actor and creating an unforgettable performance.”
Parks is survived by his wife Oriana and son James.
