Manners on set of Supernatural
“Supernatural” executive producer & director Kim Manners passed away last night in Los Angeles, following a battle with lung cancer.
The following is a statement from “Supernatural” creator & executive producer Eric Kripke:
Everyone at 'Supernatural' is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated. Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend. He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately. He gave so much to 'Supernatural,' and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him.
Manners began his career in television in the late 1970s as a production manager and director for the TV series, "Charlies' Angels."
Manners then joined "The X-Files" in 1995 as a producer. He also directed and produced "Baywatch" and "21 Jump Street" which starred a young Johnny Depp.
On "Supernatural," Kim Manners has served as an executive producer and directed 17 episodes, including every season finale.
Condolences to Manners' cast, crew and family from Monsters and Critics.
