Kelsch died Monday at Hackettstown Medical Center in New Jersey after a battle with Covid and pneumonia, his son, Chris Kelsch, told The Hollywood Reporter.
“If you knew him, you probably have a story about him,” Chris wrote on Facebook. “He really was a great man, loved by many. A war hero who filled every room with his presence. An artist who never stopped being himself. A caring father who would do anything for his kids and grandkids. Shared his experience, wisdom and love with all. Our family will deeply miss him and always love him, as I’m sure many of you will as well.”
Kelsch also was the director of photography on Big Night (1996), co-directed, co-written and starring Stanley Tucci,...

Note: This post features major spoilers for “Beef.”
The Season 1 finale of Netflix’s “Beef” is explosive in every sense of the word, but concludes on a comforting moment of connection between Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steven Yuen) as Amy shows her unconditional support for Danny as he recovers in the hospital after being shot by Amy’s husband, George (Joseph Lee). Though it’s unclear what terms their relationship will continue on, Danny’s subtle caress as Amy lays on his recovery bed signals their deep bond will persevere.
Of course, the mind can’t help but wander to a potential romantic entanglement between the pair — a development that would leave Paul (Young Mazino) with an “even bigger chip on his shoulder” and might prompt a new revenge spiral should the dramedy score a renewal for a second season.
“I think if he finds out or somehow Amy and Danny are together,...
