Bill Cobbs, the veteran character actor whose career spanned more than five decades, died Tuesday night, his brother shared on social media. The actor is believed to have died of natural causes at his home in the Southern California Inland Empire city of Riverside, surrounded by family. Cobbs had recently celebrated his 90th birthday.
“Bill was a phenomenal human being in addition to being a spectacular actor,” Cobbs’ publicist Chuck I. Jones said in a statement to TheWrap. “He was very kind, giving and attentive to others. He was especially very proud of receiving a Daytime ‘Emmy Award’ and his work with the cast & crew on such films as ‘Demolition Man,’ ‘The Bodyguard’ and ‘Oz the Great and Powerful.’”
