James Handy's stepson formally charged with actor's murder

Prosecutors filed murder charges Friday against the man arrested in the fatal stabbing of veteran Hollywood actor James Handy, a familiar face in dozens of films and television shows over half a century and the boyfriend of the suspect's mother.

If convicted, Michael Gledhill, 44, who was arrested as a suspect on Wednesday, could face up to 26 years in prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.

In a separate statement on Thursday, police said Gledhill was arrested after approaching officers near the crime scene in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles on Wednesday and telling officers he was the person they were looking for.

Police said officers were dispatched in response to a mysterious 911 call from a man who told dispatchers, "I am the son of man. I just killed the man of sin."

Responding police officers found an 81-year-old man unconscious on the front lawn of his girlfriend's house, with a stab wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead shortly afterward at a nearby hospital, the Los Angeles Police Department said. According to police, Gledhill lived at his mother's house.

The victim was later identified as Handy, a prolific supporting actor whose film credits include supporting roles in "Confessions of a Teenager," "Arachnophobia," "Jumanji," "Unbreakable" and "Logan."

His last prominent film appearance was playing an older bartender named Jimmy, at a bar frequented by military fighter pilots, in the 2022 Tom Cruise hit "Top Gun: Maverick."

Handy has also appeared on dozens of television shows since the 1970s, often playing police officers or authority figures.

Police described the murder as an isolated incident but did not provide any possible motive for the crime. Gledhill was scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday, but it was not immediately clear whether he had obtained legal representation.

Handy's death marked the second high-profile celebrity stabbing murder in Los Angeles in six months. In December, actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer and producer Michele Reiner, were killed in their Brentwood mansion. The couple's youngest son, Nick Reiner, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in his parents' deaths.
