Miguel Ferrer, the character and voice actor who appeared in shows including “NCIS: Los Angeles” and “Crossing Jordan,” and films such as “RoboCop” and “Iron Man 3,” died on Thursday of throat cancer. He was 61.

Ferrer was the son of top 1950s singer Rosemary Clooney and actor Jose Ferrer, and first cousin to George Clooney. He appeared on “NCIS: Los Angeles” for seven seasons.

George Clooney said Ferrer “made the world brighter and funnier” in a statement obtained by Variety.

“Today history will mark giant changes in our world, and lost to most will be that on the same day Miguel Ferrer lost his battle to throat cancer. But not lost to his family,” Clooney wrote. “Miguel made the world brighter and funnier, and his passing is felt so deeply in our family that events of the day, (monumental events), pale in comparison. We love you Miguel. We always will.”

RIP.

He was great in Twin Peaks and Hot Shots!
 
Awww. Well, I'll always remember him for his portrayal of Lloyd Henreid in The Stand.

His father Jose was good, too. The Emperor in Lynch's Dune.
 
What!! And so 2017 starts. Seems the reaper did not have enough fun last year.

R.I.P Miguel Ferrer and thanks for the great entertainment and characters
 
RIP Miguel :(

I was watching the last episode of the current series of NCIS: LA last night and thought that he didn't look at all well ...
 
Probably should have called a doctor and this mightn't have happened. :(

You shouldn't have kept quiet

Nah, the guy hasn't looked well for a long time but at the end of the last episode there's about a 20sec out of context shot of him looking really mournful.

Guess they knew the cancer would take him soon and are preparing an exit strategy ...
