In unfortunate news, it seems the grizzly bear who played “Precious” in Will Ferrell’s recent Semi-Pro — and seemed to obediently follow all cues during filming —
killed the cousin of his long-time trainer with a bite to the neck. Three experienced handlers were working with the grizzly bear, named Rocky, Tuesday afternoon at the
Predators in Action wild animal training center when the bear attacked
Stephan Miller, 39, said San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman
Cindy Beavers. Pepper spray was used to subdue and contain the bear; paramedics were unable to revive Miller, and there were no other injuries.
