Getzinger’s credits include Shutter Island, Salt, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, and such upcoming films as The Dark Knight Rises and Men In Black III. He was also the property master on Showtime’s series pilot Masters & Johnson and AMC’s Rubicon.

  • Nicest guy in the world. What a shame and a loss. He was so talented, hard working, intelligent, and kind. I hope he’s at peace and my thoughts are with his family.

  • I didn’t know him well, but had the opportunity to work with him on a few projects. He was always a really nice guy – and not everyone in this industry is. It’s very sad. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends.

  • Didn’t know Scott personally,but, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Movie & tv fans sometimes forget those who help put shows together. I’m sure he was a good propmaster. All the best to his family & may he rest in peace.

  • What is weird is that the news here (in CT) said that he had multiple broken bones, conscious after being cut out of the truck he was in, and his injuries were NOT life threatening.

    Another spoiled kid with too much car, too much speed, and too much confidence.

      • I think he was referring to the 18 year old kid who killed him as the “spoiled kid.”

      • Mark E. Mark, he was taking a shot at the 18 year old who plowed into Scott. Not Scott himself.

      • Could be wrong but I think he was talking about the 18 year old driver..

      • He wasn’t very clear about it, but I think Mark was referring to the 18 year-old kid that hit Scott, not Scott. At least I hope he was.

    • Mark, you are shameful! Before you make assumptions you should read the whole story. His car was hit head on by a car that spun and flipped out of control on the opposite side of the parkway and landed directly in front of him. You, Mark, are the brat.

    • It wasn’t his fault, he got hit by another car.
      You’re an idiot, Mark.

  • A truly, truly great guy and a class act… I was fortunate enough to work with him a few times and he will sorely be missed.
