(KTLA) – Actor Harris Yulin, known for his roles in “Scarface,” “Training Day,” “Ozark,” and more has passed away. He was 87.

He passed away Tuesday of cardiac arrest in New York City, his family and manager, Sue Leibman, told The Hollywood Reporter.

The Los Angeles native studied acting at UCLA and later made his New York theater debut in 1963 in “Next Time I’ll Sing to You.” Throughout his five-decade career, he’s appeared in over 100 movies and television shows, making him a recognizable face. His resume includes roles in “Ghostbusters II,” “Clear and Present Danger,” “The Hurricane,” and “Rush Hour 2.”

He appeared in the popular sitcom “Frasier,” which earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series. 

Later in his career, he starred in “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Billions,” and “FBI: Most Wanted.”

Deadline reports the actor was preparing to start production this week to star in the MGM+ series “American Classic” alongside Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. The project is being directed by Michael Hoffman, and Yulin’s family said he was “delighted” to be working with him. The two worked together in the 2005 film “Game 6.”

He is survived by his wife Kristen Lowman, son-in-law Ted Mineo, nephew Martin Crane, and godchildren Marco and Lara Greenberg. His daughter, actress Claire Lucido, passed away in 2021.
