Edward
Herrmann, who won an Emmy for ‘The Practice’, co-starred on ‘Gilmore
Girls’ and played the main villain in ‘The Lost Boys’, has died at the
age of 71.
The ‘Gilmore Girls’ actor had been suffering from brain cancer and died in a New York hospital surrounded by family.
'Edward
Herrmann besides being an accomplished actor, he was a true gentleman
and a scholar, as well as being an incredibly kind and decent man. He
will be sorely missed,' his manager Robbie Kass said in a statement
Wednesday to The Wrap.
Herrmann played Dianne Wiest’s boyfriend in ‘The Lost Boys’ and Lauren Graham’s father on ‘Gilmore Girls’.
He also played Nelson Rockefeller in Oliver Stone’s ‘Nixon’ and worked with Martin Scorsese on ‘The Aviator’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.
