Jay Thomas, an actor known for his roles in “Mork & Mindy” and “Cheers,” has died after a battle with cancer. He was 69.
Thomas’ agent of 35 years, Don Buchwald, confirmed the news to the New York Daily News Thursday, saying, “Jay was one of a kind, never at a loss for words and filled with so much fun and wonderfully whacky thoughts and behavior.”
The outlet reports Thomas died at his home in Santa Barbara, California, with his wife Sally and three sons by his side.
Thomas had a successful career working in television, with one of his most notable roles being Eddie Lebec, Carla’s husband, on “Cheers.” Over the years, he’s appeared in shows like “Married People,” “Love and War,” Hercules” and most recently “Ray Donovan.” The actor also won two Emmy awards for his guest-starring role as Jerry Gold on “Murphy Brown.”
