Jonathan Haze, an actor best known for his role as Seymour in 1960's Little Shop of Horrors has died. He was 95.

Haze was discovered while working at a gas station and cast in the 1954 film Monster From the Ocean Floor, which Corman, who passed earlier this year at the age of 98, produced.

This was the start of a long working relationship between Corman and Haze. He was soon cast in Corman's The Fast and the Furious in 1954 and in Five Guns West in 1955.

After being discovered in the 1950s he went on to rack up 41 credits during an acting career that spanned five decades.

In addition to appearing in nearly 20 Corman films, he also made appearances on television shows including Dragnet and 77 Sunset Strip.

But his most famous role by far was as Seymour Krelboined in 1960s original adaptation of Little Shop of Horrors.

His character is described as 'a scrawny runt, with a nose like a door-stopper and the gait of an ostrich,' per Deadline.
