Varsity Blues Actor Ron Lester Dead at Age 45

His agent Dave Bradley confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the actor died Friday evening of liver and kidney failure.

Ron Lester, who played Billy Bob in the 1999 flick Varsity Blues, has passed away at the age of 45.
Earlier today, Lester was transported from an intensive care unit at a Dallas-area hospital into hospice care, according to the magazine.

Lester got his start in Hollywood back in 1997 when he had a part in the Nickelodeon hit Good Burger shortly before Varsity Blues.
