Veteran actor, director, and producer Norman Lloyd has died at age 106.
A family friend confirmed toDeadlinethat the Hollywood legend passed away peacefully in his sleep at his Los Angeles home.
Perhaps best known as Dr. Daniel Auschlander in the ’80s series “St. Lloyd’s final acting role was in theJudd Apatowfilm “Trainwreck,” starring Amy Schumer (viaIMDb).
He also regretted that Apatow didn’t use him in any of the “hot scenes.”
Still, Lloyd went on to build a solid career, thanks to his work with Alfred Hitchcock.
At 67, Lloyd met Bruce Paltrow, the husband of his dear friend Blythe Danner.
As Lloyd recalledin an interview with the A.V.
Club, Paltrow mentioned that he was working on the pilot of “St.
Elsewhere” and asked if Lloyd might be interested in joining the cast.
“Make me an offer,” Lloyd replied.
But audiences loved him so much that Lloyd was kept on for the show’s entire six-year run.
It’s not good anyway” (via The Telegraph).
