• Sad Dramatic Emotional...
Hervé Jean-Pierre Villechaize (French: [ɛʁve vilʃɛz]; April 23, 1943 - September 4, 1993) was a French American actor and painter. He is best known for his role as the evil henchman Nick Nack in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, and his role as Mr. Roarke's assistant, Tattoo, on the 1977-1984 American television series Fantasy Island. On Fantasy Island, his shout of "The plane! The plane!" became one of the show's signature phrases.
Though popular with the public, Villechaize proved a difficult actor on Fantasy Island, where he continually propositioned women and quarreled with the producers. He was eventually fired after demanding a salary on par with that of his co-star Ricardo Montalbán. Villechaize was replaced by Christopher Hewett.
In the early morning hours of September 4, 1993, at his North Hollywood home, Villechaize, aged 50, is believed to have first fired a shot through the sliding-glass patio door to awaken his longtime girlfriend, Kathy Self, before shooting himself. Self found Villechaize in his backyard, and he was pronounced dead at the Medical Center of North Hollywood. His ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean off Point Fermin in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California.
Villechaize left a suicide note saying he was despondent over longtime health problems. He was suffering from chronic pain due to having oversized internal organs putting increasing pressure on his body. According to Self, Villechaize often slept in a kneeling position so he could breathe more easily. He also left an audio recording of the suicide that included his last words.
At the time of his death, Cartoon Network was in negotiations for him to co-star in Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which was in preproduction at the time. Villechaize would have voiced Space Ghost's sidekick on the show.

Let's not forget the person and the great things he did against impossible odds. Well done as usual Scott, very kind person.
I met Herve briefly at my husband's job at a lumber yard in North Hollywood in the mid 80s. He was there with his assistant getting materials for a home project. He was pleasant, but a bit distant, and obviously focused on the reason he was there. I was still excited to meet him in person. RIP Herve.🙏🕊
Cool
No you didn't.
@@jerrygreen3818 Piss off!
@@jerrygreen3818 Nothing ever happens, cameras must be installed everywhere for stuff to happen alongside photo evidence and letters from both parties saying it did indeed happen.
You've got a good heart, Scott. Your thoughts on Herve's life,as well as his pain were touching. Very sad.
amen to that !!! You can feel gentle and positive vides from this guy, he has a great heart.
Yes! Everyone LOVED that show and everyone ADORED Herve. We all felt bad at how his story ended. Really.
Agreed
I agree too
Margannaful took the words right out of my mouth. You definitely have a good heart, Scott. And thank you for all you do.
No space for hate on your channel. That is why I love it. Too much hate out there and we need more people like you to spread positivity. God Bless you
I used to live in North Hollywood for a brief time, good seeing familiar surroundings again
Very, very sad story but well done. The world was cold then and colder now. Rest well. Thank you for sharing
May Herve continue to RIP. I remember Fantasy Island as a child and would watch it with my parents on Saturday nights right after The Love Boat. Very nice show. Always loved your vlogs. I was so appreciative of your addressing him as a little person as opposed to those derogatory terms we grew up with. I even convinced my mom many years ago to stop using the derogatory little person term.
In my country, we watched this telefilm in the mornings, during the summer months.
Unfortunately any term other than Person is derogatory. Anything other than Person makes it sound as they are not, Humans need to categorize everything and sadly it can be unintentionally offensive or demeaning. We need to just call People, People. Scott did good here regardless keeping it touching and respectful. One day we'll all just be People and the differences apparent or not be considered irrelevant to classifications.
Thank you Scott. I grew up watching Fantasy Island. I still love it now. This story hits close to home . It's heartbreaking when people feel so much physical, mental and emotional pain and heartache that they feel suicide is their only option 💔 😪 oh my I forget about the dancing you came upon.
RIP Herve. Very heart warming he was a great actor. I loved Fantasy Island!
Wow I had always assumed he died an old man. You never know the pain people are going thru be it physical or mental or emotional. 🖤
One of my all time favorite shows...still watch to this day...thank you
Thanks for the great tribute to Herve, Scott. RIP Herve Villechaize.
The HBO film on Herve's life was played by Games of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage. He did a great job. Thanks for making your channel a judgement free zone. People are just terrible these days to the point its embarrassing. So sad Herve was in so much pain. His last words was ❤ breaking
Yup and the fact he recorded his own death. I’m glad they didn’t put that in the movie
I love Peter Dinklage. I first saw him in The Station Agent.
That was a decent movie
I forgot the name. its called "My Dinner with Herve". I haven't seen much airplay of it though since it premiered. I read Peter Dinklage fought to get this movie made
What was the name of his bio movie ❓
Thanks Scott as always, for being so sensitive and respectful to peoples’ lives…this is what makes your channel so unique from all the others. Peace and love.
So true.. 👌
Thank you for this. My heart aches for the pain he experienced. Kindness is everything
What a beautiful video Scott. You have such a beautiful soul. These videos you do are important. These tributes to sometimes forgotten people really do matter! Just like kindness matters.. to everyone! Thank you for all you do! Rest In Peace Herve Villechaize.
I saw Herve in 1992 at the retirement ceremony for a Master Chief at Naval School of Health Sciences in San Diego. Just sitting in the audience. So sad indeed. RIP Herve 😢
Thank you Scott. I knew Herve passed away, but never knew he took his own life. I’m glad you did this video. NO PLACE FOR HATE. (On anything or anyone. ✌️out! RIP Herve.💙
Your lack of words spoke loving volumes. God bless.
@SCOTT ON TAPE - Your Pop
Culture Tour Guide omg I remember this show was one of my favorite shows on tv. Thank you for making this video. Much love to you bro ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi from New Zealand RIP Herve I found this video so heartbreaking 💔 and you did a great job telling his life story
Really can’t explain why specifically but this one touched me deeply and brought tears.
Thank you for remembering Herve. Your video is a touching memorial. I met Herve in the 90s at our family home. He was a very genuine delightful and special man. I will never forget the few hours I got to spend with him. Love your work Scott. Thanks again
Thanks Scott. This was great because I enjoyed his work but did not know about his sad experience. May he rest in peace.
I knew he passed but never knew why. Thank you for putting so much love into the video.
I keep watching barron trump with his height and wonder if it hurts him. His back is going to be hurting in no time because he's taller than the entire family already. Which now makes me think of how much pain herve was in because nothing had the room to grow. Breaks my heart
Scott, I can tell you really have a heart for all people. Like you, I have 0 tolerance for any kind of bullying. Thank you for bringing us with you on all your traveling adventures! Thank you for all the hard work that goes into getting these videos to us! Be blessed bro and safe travels!!
My mom was pen-pals with Kathy when he died. I was supposed to meet Herve when he was scheduled to film a Dunkin Donuts commercial in Nashville later that year. Would've been cool! RIP, Herve!🙏
🤘😎❤
Love hearing stories like this
I loved Fantasy Island... ty for doing a great job on this. Rest in paradise sweetheart ❤️
A very tragic story on the extremely short life of Herve VillechaizeI absolutely loved Fantasy Island🏝. Such a very beautiful & touching video📹tribute Scott. RIP🙏Herve🪦Villechaize & Ricardo Montalban. Great job again Scott.
Very well done Scott. I could tell just how emotional you got talking about your friend and you've got every right to feel the way you do. I totally agree with you, it's very demanding to little people for others to do things like that. He may have handled it with grace but inside you know his heart was breaking that people would do things or say things. You have such a good heart Scott and I like it when a grown man can show his emotions. Only a real man with a good heart isn't afraid to show his emotions. This video touched my heart. I was a fan and still am of Fantasy Island and watch the new version as well and remember all to well when Hervé took his life. It was a sad day. Thank you for including him in your videos. And thank you for your blessed heart.
Terrific work as always. You’re a very kind man. I also wanna say how hilarious your facial expression was at the end watching those people dance lol
Thanks for posting Scott be safe
I use to love watching fantasy island 🏝.. different celebrities appeared on the show is what made great to watch... thanks for sharing this... R.I.P HERVE..
Just watched your video about the passing of Herve Villechaize and I must say that i greatly admire your respect and depth of feeling about the people that you're documenting and the legacy and memories that they left behind for all of us to remember them by! After watching a couple of your films, I knew I had to be a subsciber! Thank you for bringing back a lot of fond memories, atleast for me!!!!! You're awesome!!!
Thank you for watching! And subscribing!
Scott you show so much respect and compassion for your work and that alone speaks volumes. Continue to bring us these AWESOME videos. R. I.P Herve 🙏🙏🙏
We need to spread love not hate no matter who the person is
Scott dont ever say what you do is weird cause its not at all weird your giving a voice to the people that cant anymore when thier stories need to be told when they are forgotten
I appreciate your personal insights, Scott. Very thoughtful.
I've heard that audio recording before..makes me cry everytime I hear it...you've done a wonderful job with this video as always, Scott. You have a heart of gold and care about and have so much respect for all these ppl. God bless you...
I remember hearing it too, quite a long time ago. He was in so much pain. I always pictured it happening against the back of the house.
I never knew he went to the very back and was obviously concerned that he had the brick wall to stop any stray bullets from escaping.
It's too bad we couldn't have seen a bit more of the house.
I love that he didn't have any regrets.
That was the perfect spot to let his ashes go.
I wonder if Soul Crossings with Cash Peters has done a reading on him ?
RIP to a wonderful actor he was so wonderful so sad this happened to him he will never be forgotten and he is loved by us all.
Scott is the genuine article-no BS-his compassion and care for people clearly shines through in his videos
Great Vlog Scott, about Herve' Very Sad that he took his own life. I do remember him from Fantasy Island. Thank you for sharing this tribute to him and his many fans.
Such a sad ending for Herve. I can't even imagine what he was going through. And yes I agree. There is no room for hate... And now I remember the odd dancing at the end. You had the funniest music playing. Oh my.
Thank you for the respectful and emotional video about Herve. If this video helps just one person, well done. X
Its not weird brother. We are truly gone the last time someone mentions our name. You keep them alive in our hearts. Much love!
Love the intro!! So much respect 🙏 I love how he handles celebrities who have past away, so much better and different than others. What a sad story.
Thank you for this video, me and my family just watched him on 007 this few days.. Never thought he just past away so tragic.. God bless.. ❤️
What a sad story. May he rest in peace. 💞Thank you Scott for sharing. Respect for you 💞

I watched Fantasy Island every week and loved it. It was really sad when Herve took his life. RIP Herve.
So sad so heartbreaking to know your in so much pain and can't go anymore..
.I pray he is resting in peace now 🙏. The show was never the same after he left.
Scott you and Scott Michaels you are my favorite no one else compares!!!!
Legend he's was unique and very talented !!!
Thanks 🙏 for this video
Good video, bro.
I wasn't much of a fan of Fantasy Island but did see a few episodes back in the day.
The ones I did see sort of reminded me of a romantic version of Twilight Zone.
Tourists come to this island with a wishful fantasy, Mr. Rourke fulfills this dream yet there is always a kind of moral lesson for the participant, who then takes the advice to heart inferring that they will leave the island and return home to enjoy their regular lives better than before.
I was only about 12 when I saw the series.
Rest in eternal peace to all who have passed who were in Fantasy island.....especially Herve.
Over there pain is no more.
Thanks Scott, this was a very special video. You have such empathy for the people you tell us about. You're a great guy and this is why I keep watching you.
Thank you Peg!
RIP Herve!! Poor guy!! Gone too soon!! You’re a sweet guy Scott!! He didn’t deserve to be made fun of!! God bless him!! Love you so much Scott!! You’re a sweet man!! Love you and your channel my friend!! Peace!! 💙💙❤️❤️💖💖💜💜💕💕🥰🥰💙💙💙✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️😢😢😢
Man I think what you do is a great thing. Ppl should now about these famous ppl honestly.
Grew up watching this show, thank you for this video ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I think what you do is important. You educate those of us who will never get to be where you are. I loved learning about Nirvana and am still watching those videos.
Peace.
Thank you Debbie
Scott what you do is not weird but a kind gesture of giving a voice to those who no longer have a voice, thank you.
I just watched the [7 month "old"] episode about Herve Villechaize. very sad how he ended his own life. hope he is resting in peace now.
great video. thanks for sharing love from holland 😗👌👋
Classy and heartfelt tribute, THANK YOU!
very sad end but thank you for covering this story my friend. very well put together.
Awesome job Scott! So moving, especially the sign. Love ❤️ ya!
You have a good heart! very emotional one of my favorites shows as I was a kid! your #1 Fan
You are so right Scott, We must always respect the dead and also we must always remember them (either like them or hate them whatever your choice) and also the things they did for everybody. I always think of it as a lost encyclopedia, knowledge we can not get back or see again so to speak. I enjoy what you do and also showing us as most of us have no way of ever seeing or knowing what they did and/or achieved and for that I am eternally grateful. I hope you can understand what I have tried to say. Your services for all of us is very much appreciated
They were dancing like no one's watching.
I loved Fantasy Island and Herve Villachaize was a big reason. RIP Herve.
Another great video Scott. Hervé Villechaize was an amazing actor for sure. I can only imagine what he had to deal with in life and the disrespectful idiots. It is really such a sad ending for him. I will never understand why some people would make fun of or bully a person such as Hervé, or any other person for that matter.
Thank you for posting . Stay safe brother
Thanks Scott. Great stuff. RIP Herve 🙏
Scott just when I think you you outshine yourself you outshine time and again. Great video. 😎
Herve was a little person with a huge personality..
God bless you. Here was a good man and I know he. Appreciate you thank. God for you .I could see the hurt in your. Face .I loved watching him on fantasy Island
God bless you.
Wonderful job Scott , 👏 I'm subscribing you have a good nature about you ❤️
Just letting you know Scott that l can see you have a good heart and a very loving caring person. God bless you and your family. Love watching your channel and you are right that is the mistake a lot of people do in this world which is not realizing that we only live once so lets live it right. Good always prevails evil. Keep safe. Be happy!☺️
Actually we ate eternal souls having a human experience. Only our bodies die, we continue to live on.
That is a sad story. I have watched him on tv but did not know his story. Beautiful work Scott. Sending virtual hugs ❤️
You have such a kind heart!!!!! Thanks
Fantasy Island was a favourite show in my teenage days. Tatto we will miss you always. R. I. P.
You've got a great heart sir and I appreciate all the work you put into these videos. You do an awesome job
Thank u for blogging this I always wonder where he was lay to rest....
Scott- That was a very nice Tribute Video to Herve. It is not at all weird as you stated what you do. You showed compassion and respect to Herve and I commend you on how you explained this terrible incident. I grew up during this era watching some of the fantasy Island shows. Much respect to you Scott. Thank you for your Professional presentation of an unfortunate incident, Herve was just as Human as you and I.
RIP Herve
I really enjoyed Fantasy Island and went to the Arboretum in Arcadia which was the exterior of the house used on the show. I've been to Fermin's Point a # of times but had no idea Herve's ashes were spread there in the ocean. A # of people of committed suicide from those cliffs. I'm glad they put the sign up there about "Don't Do It" and the Suicide Hotline. Rest in Peace Herve.
I grew up with fantasy island, I remember when he passed, another great video, you rock!
Scott, Thank you, i loved watching him. he was a great actor.
Wonderful video you did super job. He is missed.rest in piece
Thank you Scott I watched Fantasy Island as a child ,,what a shame for poor Herve may he Rest In Peace x
I have great memories of watching "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island." I never thought of Herve in negative terms because of his size because his character was so great on the show. People take their own lives for various reasons. It is unfortunate that he was in pain.
