The world lost an amazing man last night.

Most of the world doesn’t have the faintest clue about what’s gone, but those of us who knew Kip King… we can see the hole in the world where Kip used to be.

He was a brilliant actor, teacher, friend, and supporter. I’ve never met anyone like him, and if I ever do again, I’ll be pleasantly shocked as hell. I HOPE I might, but come on… he was one of a kind. The odds are pretty fucking slim I’ll ever meet another Kip King.

Thank you for everything, Kip. And it’s not just me—the world is poorer for your absence.
