He was famous for his infectious laugh, his noisy ass sneeze, his wild sailor mouth on set, his incredible, thoughtful, creative, and brilliant mind…I could go on.” RELATED: Hollywood & Media Deaths In 2022: Photo Gallery Maddie said that the loss of her father has left a hole in her heart and he leaves behind his wife, a son and another daughter. “We are at peace knowing he is no longer suffering, no longer in pain, no longer struggling.
