Though you may not recognize the name Edward Herrman, you're almost certainly familiar with his work.
In addition to his nine seasons on the cast of Gilmore Girls, Herrman appeared in over 100 films during a storied career that spanned five decades.
Richard Gilmore - Lorelai's father and Rory's Yale benefactor - may be Herrman's stand-out role for younger generations, but movie and TV fans of all ages are likely to recognize from one small but memorable part or another.
Herrman most often played blue-blooded stuffed shirts, but was routinely described as a warm, jovial man by friends and colleagues.
His late-career parts ranged from Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan's cantakerous minister on How I Met Your Mother to the voice of Stratton-Oakmont in 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street.
Herrman was reportedly battling brain cancer and had spent the past several weeks in intensive care.
He leaves behind a wife and three children.
While he may not have been a household name during his career, Herrman became a worldwide trending topic within minutes of when news of his death went public.
It's a fitting final tribute for a man who never received top billing, but often stole the show.
Watch Gilmore Girls online to enjoy what may prove to be Edward Herrman's most enduring performance.
