A co-founding member of Klamath Film, longtime local actor and current board member has sadly passed away.
Wayne Sweat was a financial advisor for decades in Klamath Falls after previously serving in the Army, and was an accomplished actor in many shorts and features made across Southern Oregon. He had been a member of Klamath Film for many years since the organization’s inception 13 years ago, and was a regular at meetings and the monthly Cameras & Cocktails events in Medford/Ashland.
Wayne had become an actor as a dare from a friend, and immediately fell in love with the art form. He appeared in many shorts and several feature films, including several films showcased at the Klamath Independent Film Festival. Known for his sense of humor and big boisterous laugh, his presence will be deeply missed in the arts scene in Klamath County.
He had one daughter.
Thank you Wayne for all that you did for our organization.
