Peter Spellos, a star on the TV series American Dreams and a voice on the animated ‘Transformers’ series, died early Sunday of pancreatic cancer complications.

He was at Francisca Hospice House in Indianapolias, Indiana, according to his friend and acting student, Jennifer Smith. “It is with tremendous sadness that I must report the passing of my dear friend, Peter Spellos at 2:30am this morning,” wrote friend Fred Olen on Facebook. “Many of you knew Peter personally.

He had more loving friends than there are stars in the sky. A gentler giant never existed. A talented actor, teacher and wise old owl.

He always made me laugh. I cannot even recall how many movies we made together, but they would probably fill a book… maybe some day they will.
