Kim Manners, who was a director and producer on both
Supernatural and X-Files, passed away yesterday from cancer.
Supernatural creator, Eric Kripke released this statement about the well-liked, brilliant director.
Everyone at 'Supernatural' is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated. Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend. He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately. He gave so much to 'Supernatural,' and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him.
His work will live on in syndication with the amazing work he did on both shows and in our memories. My prayers go out to his family and all those who work on Supernatural.
