Greg Plitt (November 3, 1977 – January 17, 2015)
George Gregory Plitt Jr. was born in Lutherville, Maryland. He was a fitness model (appearing in numerous men’s health magazines), actor and former Army Ranger. He starred in the Bravo TV series Work Out.
On January 17, 2015, Plitt was shooting a commercial for a self-produced energy drink commercial. He was running between the rails when he was hit and killed by a southbound Metrolink train in Burbank, California. (His death was recorded by a camera mounted in the cab of the engine.) Police believe that Plitt was trying to outrun the train for the commercial he was shooting thinking that the train was coming up behind him on a parallel track and not the track that he was running. Plitt was 37 years old at the time of his death.
