Ralph Waite, an Emmy-nominated actor best known for his leading role on The Waltons in the 1970s, passed away today at his home in South Palm Desert.
He was 86 years old.
Steve Gordon, the accountant for the Waite family, confirmed this sad news to The Hollywood Reporter.
Waite anchored The Waltons for nine seasons and more recently made stops on such shows as Carnivale, Bones and NCIS, portraying Gibbs' father on television's highest-rated series.
He also founded the Los Angeles Actors Theatre in 1975 and twice ran unsuccessfully for a Congressional seat, including a run for the seat left vacant by the death of Sonny Bono in 1998.
