Stephen Hibbert worked as a writer for David Letterman, among others, but became famous especially for his sex slave appearance in “Pulp Fiction”. The Englishman has now died at the age of 68.
Stephen Hibbert is dead. As the family of the author and actor says TMZ announced that he died of a heart attack last Monday. He was 68 years old.
“Our father, Stephen Hibbert, passed away unexpectedly this week,” said an official statement from the actor’s children. “His life was filled with love and devotion to both his art and his family.”
That was Stephen Hibbert
Born on September 19, 1960 in Fleetwood, England, Hibbert moved to the USA at a young age – where he soon worked as a television writer. From 1984 to 1986 he was part of the writing team of “Late Night With David Letterman”.before he finally contributed individual episodes to animated series such as “Darkwing Duck – The Terror of Villains”, “Tiny Toon Adventures” and “Animaniacs”. He later worked on, among other things, the 90s cult sitcom “Life and I”.
Hibbert also tried his hand at acting, but in large-scale productions such as “The Legacy of the Secret Book” or “Austin Powers – Spy in a Secret Missionary Position” it was ultimately only enough for nameless short appearances as “Tourist on Toilet” or “Guard at Jail Cell”. But Hibbert undoubtedly had his most famous cinematic moment in Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction“ – as a sex slave clad in leather gear, known as the “Gimp” or “Hinkebein” (see cover photo of this article).
Hibbert died just a few months after Peter Greene – whose character Zed keeps the gimp in his torture chamber:
