Not many actors can claim as many memorable credits across film and television as Martin Mull did, going back to the 1970s. Sadly, the beloved comedian has passed away at the age of 80. His daughter broke the tragic news, and already there has been an outpouring of support for the man who added plenty of laughs to projects like Roseanne , Clue , Two and a Half Men , and and many more.
He was just under two months shy of his 81st birthday. Martin Mull's daughter, TV writer and cartoonist Maggie Mull, broke the news on social media. In a touching post on Instagram , she confirmed her father's death while also honoring what he meant to her and the kind of man he was: 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 known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials. He would find that joke funny. He was never not funny.
My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and—the sign of a truly exceptional person—by many, many dogs. I loved him tremendously. Maggie Mull didn't reveal what kind of "long illness" her father was struggling with, but did share that he was at home when he passed.
As one would expect from a man known for spreading laughter and joy, the comment section of the post is full of well-wishers to Maggie and tributes to her dad, including one from.
