The guy who played Random Task in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and was sentenced to life in prison last month for raping and torturing a woman in 1990, is now accused of killing his cellmate: 'Austin Powers' actor suspected in prison death. 40-year-old Joseph Son is suspected in the murder of another prisoner at Wasco State Prison. His cellmate, a parole violator serving a new two-year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender, was found dead in the cell he shared with Son. The death is being treated as a homicide:
Joseph Hyungmin Son, 40, allegedly killed his 50-year-old cellmate, who was found dead Monday afternoon at Wasco State Prison Reception Center in Kern County.This guy is bad news through and through. When he was sentenced, I said I hoped he rot in his cell. Maybe a cell isn't even good enough for him. More here: 'Austin Powers' actor allegedly kills sex offender in prison.
