The charismatic actor Martin Mull, who starred in series like “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” “Roseanne,” and “Arrested Development,” has passed away.
He was eighty years old.
The news was posted on Instagram by his daughter Maggie Mull on Friday. She said, “I am heartbroken to share that my father passed away at home on June 27th, after a valiant fight against a long illness.”
“He was well-known for his proficiency in all artistic mediums and for his work on Red Roof Inn advertisements. That joke would have made him laugh. He was always witty,” she went on.
“My dad’s wife and daughter, friends, colleagues, other artists, comedians, musicians, and—as a testament to a genuinely remarkable man—many, many dogs will all mourn him dearly. I was incredibly in love with him.”
A spokesperson for Mull has been contacted by USA TODAY to request a statement.

During his nearly 50-year acting career, Martin Mull played a variety of roles, including that of the twins Barth and Garth Gimble in the soap opera comedy “Mary Hartman” and the ghost of a recently murdered man named Monty haunting Gina Rodriguez in the ABC series “Not Dead Yet.” Additionally, he portrayed Leon Carp, Roseanne Connor’s boss on “Roseanne,” as Principal Willard Kraft on “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” and Russell, the pharmacist on “Two and a Half Men.”
He made memorable cameos as Gene Parmesan, the Bluth family’s private investigator on “Arrested Development,” much to the joy of Lucille Bluth (the late Jessica Walter). When Netflix decided to revive the show, he returned to the role.
Mull’s first Emmy nomination came in 2016 from his role as political assistant Bob Bradley on HBO’s “Veep.”
He starred in several noteworthy films, including “Mr. Mom” (1983), “Clue” (1985), “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993), “Jingle All the Way” (1996), and the romantic comedy “Killers” (2010).
Maggie Mull, his daughter, and his wife Wendy Haas survive Mull.
