Tom Bower has died at the age of 86.
The actor, best known for his roles in Die Hard 2 — in which he starred as janitor Marvin alongside Bruce Willis in the leading role — and in the historical drama The Waltons, died in his sleep at
his home in Los Angeles on May 30, his sister-in-law, Mary Miller, confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter.
No cause of death has been announced yet for the star, who is survived by his brother, Bobby, children Viv and Rob, and grandchildren Nicole, Jonathan, Lucille, and Henry.
According to his sister-in-law, Tom had been a big supporter of the SAG-AFTRA strike, when thousands in the industry took to the picket line this year as they fought for fairer earnings amid the rise of streaming platforms.
She said: “He believed that all actors and all people should be represented in a way that was decent.”
