Tick... Tick... Tick

• The Deaths in 2017 site lists under April 15: 
• Clifton James, 95, American actor (Live and Let Die, Silver Streak, Eight Men Out), diabetes.

His name contains a cryptic "cliff heavy/big".  Note from his wiki page:

•  George Clifton James (May 29, 1921 – April 15, 2017) 

On perusing his list of films, the one that stood out the most:

...tick...tick...tick... (1970) as D.J. Rankin

The inner twin have a propensity of generating clusters in groups of 3, and so the "Tick(x3)" pattern-cluster is a heads up.  Note the films release date:

Release date	January 9, 1970

The date is an addition to the "Off BY One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from my stepson's birthday of January 8.  Note from the wiki page of the actor who stood out above the other:

• Fredric March as Mayor Jeff Parks

His surname is another addition to the "Off ByOne" pattern-cluster given that we're now into April, note from his wiki page:

•  Fredric March ( August 31, 1897 – April 14, 1975) 

Megan MacGregor and March celebrate the same birthdays, and the anniversary of his death was just yesterday!!  Hence another addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.  Keep in mind as well that the month of March is named after Mars, the god of war.
