I happen to be a fan of the late actor Ray Vitte; he was most famous for his role as the DJ in the 1978 movie Thank God it's Friday..He was gunned down by the LAPD at the age of 33...Some people say it was drug related but Vitte's family stated that Ray was having health problems that were not drug related but he was suffering from emotional stress due to his bad health that was due to a disfunctioning liver....
