The actor’s manager confirmed he passed away at his home in Los Angeles.
His manager stated: “If you met him once you made a friend for life. [He] is survived by his wife, Jennifer Carno, the love of his life.”

The actor said he wanted to help as many people as possible by speaking publicly about his cancer diagnosis.
