Commonly known for his Hall of Fame wrestling career, Piper was one of the greatest villains ever in the ring. Piper died on July 31, 2015 from a heart attack at the age of 61. While many of us remember him fondly from his wrestling days with the World Wrestling Federation he was also an actor whom until the end of his life kept on working, including his role in a horror flick called "The Chair".

We interviewed Kyle Hester who played the character Bowen from "The Chair" which is based on Peter Simeti's graphic novel, depicting an innocent man on death row, who watches as his fellow inmates are brutally tortured and murdered by a sadistic warden.
