\"\"Haze\u2019s performance as Seymour in the 1960 cult classic about a violent plant sparked multiple adaptations, including the well-known 1982 off-Broadway musical and the 1986 film starring Rick Moranis. In a 2001 fan event, Haze reflected on the film\u2019s arduous production process: \u201cAll of the interior sequences were shot in two days-20-hour days. We were shooting on Skid Row with real individuals as extras, giving them ten cents per walk-through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haze, born Jack Aaron Schachter, began in show business working on stage for his cousin, drummer Buddy Rich, before eventually moving to Los Angeles, where he worked with director Roger Corman. Their long partnership began with\u00a0Monster from the Ocean Floor<\/em>\u00a0in 1954, followed by a range of Corman-produced B-movies, including\u00a0The Fast and the Furious<\/em>,\u00a0Five Guns West<\/em>, and\u00a0It Conquered the World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In addition to acting, Haze wrote, produced, and managed projects, including the screenplay for\u00a0Invasion of the Star Creatures<\/em>\u00a0(1962) and Haskell Wexler\u2019s\u00a0Medium Cool<\/em>\u00a0(1969). Later, he became CEO of a company that created ads for major brands such as United Airlines and Schlitz beer.<\/p>\n

Haze is survived by his daughters, Rebecca and Deedee, three grandchildren, and a great-grandson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
