Hollywood is mourning the death of actor Miguel Ferrer who passed away on Thursday, Jan. 19.
Ferrer appeared in several films and TV shows but is perhaps best known for his roles as Owen Granger in NCIS: Los Angeles , Dr. Garret Macy in Crossing Jordan and Bob Morton in RoboCop.
After hearing the news of his passing from throat cancer at the age of 61, many of his co-stars and other celebrities, including his cousin George Clooney, mourned and paid tribute to the late actor.
"Today history will mark giant changes in our world, and lost to most will be that on the same day Miguel Ferrer lost his battle to throat cancer. But not lost to his family," Clooney said in statement. "Miguel made the world brighter and funnier and his passing is felt so deeply in our family that events of the day, (monumental events), pale in comparison. We love you Miguel. We always will."
Here are some other celebrity reactions via social media to Ferrer's death:
Such a sad day. My heart goes out to his family and our friends at NCIS LA.
A wonderful man.— Brian Dietzen (@BrianDietzen) January 19, 2017
