Lex Goudsmit
Lex Goudsmit (d. 1999) is an actor, best known for playing grandpa Lex on Sesamstraat.
When Goudsmit died in 1999, instead of doing an episode dealing with his death, along the lines of Mr. Hooper's death, the producers addressed the issue on the program following Sesamstraat, called (English translation) Youth News . The program aired a compilation of his best appearances on the show, as well as talking about his death.
Lex told producers that he wanted to stay on Sesamstraat even after his death, so the latest scenes he taped were still used on the next season. He was slowly but surely phased out of the show.
