Author and actor Erich Anderson has died at the age of 67.

In an Instagram post this weekend, Andersons wife, actor Saxon Trainor, confirmed her husband died after a brutal struggle with cancer.

In the post, which featured a close-up of the Felicity actors face, Trainor left followers with a few words from her brother-in-law Michael OMalley, admitting she was too bereft now to write anything.

OMalleys tribute remarked on his brothers long successful career as an actor, noting how Anderson appeared on the show Thirtysomething, played the father of Felicitys titular character, and was killed in a basement in a Friday the 13th movie, in addition to credits on Star Trek: The Next Generation and dozens of other shows.

He was a smart and funny guy, a fantastic cook, the statement went on. He wrote three great novels which you can find on Amazon . Ill miss him but his ordeal is over.
