Though Ransone wouldn’t have minded personally, McPhee passionately defended his legacy, highlighting his acclaimed work in films like It: Chapter Two and Tangerine. The Television Academy cited time constraints for the broadcast, but confirmed Ransone is honored in their expanded online tribute. McPhee continues to celebrate his life, sharing heartfelt messages on his birthdays, as fans remember him as a brilliant, funny, and deeply complex artist.
