Comic actor Fred Willard has died at the age of 86.

The beloved star with several acting credits — including “Best in Show,” “This is Spinal Tap” and “Everybody Loves Raymond” — died of natural causes.

Willard’s acting career spanned five decades. He got his start in Chicago’s renowned Second City sketch comedy troupe before becoming a familiar face on the small screen. He recently completed his Emmy-nominated recurring role on “Modern Family” and can be seen later this month in his recurring role as Steve Carrell’s dad in the Netflix series “Space Force.”

The funnyman was also a present force on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearing in comedy sketches bi-weekly up until stay-at-home orders were put in place amid the coronavirus pandemic.

His television credits include roles on “Roseanne,” of which he was nominated for an Emmy, and “Everybody Loves Raymond,” which earned him two Emmy nominations. Willard also appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” more than 90 times.

Willard is best known for his work in comedies “Best in Show,” “For Your Consideration” and “A Mighty Wind,” in addition to “This is Spinal Tap,” “Austin Powers,” “Anchorman” and “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.”
