    Actor Robert Prosky has died at the age of 77.

    His eldest son Stefan confirmed that he passed away on Monday night in Washington DC following complications from a heart procedure.

    "He went gracefully last night, not in pain," he said. "Everybody knows him as a fairly famous actor. My brothers and I know him as a marvellous father."

    Prosky had hundreds of screen and stage credits to his name, including roles in Cheers, Dead Man Walking and Hill Street Blues.

    In Mrs Doubtfire he played the TV station owner who hired Robin Williams's character.

    RIP

    A wonderful actor. I'll always remember him for this scene in Michael Mann's Thief:

    Thief was his first film role apparently. Incredible stuff.

    RIP
