Miguel Ferrer Dies: ‘Twin Peaks’ And ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ Actor Was 61

Miguel Ferrer, who played the role of sarcastic and often abrasive FBI agent Albert Rosenfeld on Twin Peaks, died today at his home in Los Angeles. Ferrer, the son of Oscar-winning-actor Jose Ferrer and singer-actress Rosemary Clooney, was 61 years old. The cause of his death is cancer. Ferrer leaves behind his wife, producer Lori Weintraub, and two children from a previous marriage, according to Heavy.

Since 2012, Ferrer has played the role of Owen Granger on NCIS: Los Angeles. Prior to that, he played the chief medical examiner on the medical drama Crossing Jordan. R. Scott Gemmill, the showrunner for NCIS: Los Angeles, issued a statement today about Ferrer’s death, according to Fox News.

Gemmill called Ferrer “a man of tremendous talent who had a powerful dramatic presence onscreen, a wicked sense of humor and a huge heart.”

Miguel Ferrer is the cousin of George Clooney, who also released a statement on his passing.

“Today, history will mark giant changes in our world,” Clooney said, “and lost to most will be that on the same day Miguel Ferrer lost his battle to throat cancer. But not lost to his family. Miguel made the world brighter and funnier and his passing is felt so deeply in our family that events of the day… pale in comparison. We love you Miguel. We always will.”
