Eddie Driscoll, an actor known for his roles on Mad Men, Entourage, and Sex and the City, has passed away. He was 60 years old.

Driscoll’s lifelong friend and fellow actor, Jimmy Palumbo, confirmed his death to PEOPLE magazine. Palumbo praised Driscoll’s talent, saying, “He could do it all – sing, dance, act, comedy. He worked all the time. He was always booking work. Everyone that worked with him loved him.”

Driscoll died in Los Angeles on December 15 after battling stomach cancer for months, according to Palumbo. Palumbo added, “It got tough there at the end, but he was a trooper. He hung on as long as he could.”

Driscoll also suffered from a serious condition called a saddle pulmonary embolism, which is a large blood clot that blocks blood flow to both lungs.

Originally from New York, Driscoll studied acting at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre in Florida. He acted alongside Reynolds in movies like Physical Evidence and Breaking In, as well as TV shows like B.L. Stryker and Evening Shade.
