Actor Morgan Stevens, best known for his role as David Reardon on “Fame,” has died at age 70.

Born in Knoxville, Tenn., the actor was pronounced dead in his kitchen during a wellness check after he wasn’t seen or heard from for several days, police confirmed to TMZ Wednesday.

Stevens is believed to have died of natural causes as no foul play is suspected, according to the outlet.

Stevens also wrote the “Catch a Falling Star” episode of “Fame” in 1984.

His credits included Jack Gardner in the 1986 miniseries, “A Year in the Life” — which he reprised in the 1987-1988 series — as well as several roles on “Murder, She Wrote,” Nick Diamond on “Melrose Place,” and Les Bostic on “Murder One.”

Stevens made his small-screen debut in 1970 and last acted on-screen in a 1999 episode of “Walker, Texas Ranger.”
