David Warner, Star Trek and Twin Peaks Actor, Dies at 80

British actor David Warner has died at the age of 80. Warner died Sunday from "a cancer-related illness," the BBC reports.

Warner is mainly known for film roles in Titanic, The Omen, and Tron. He also appeared in many TV shows, including Penny Dreadful, Twin Peaks, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, among others, and often played villainous characters.

In 1981, he won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Special for his role as Pomponius Falco in the miniseries Masada.

Warner was also a regular voice actor on a number of TV shows, such as Dr. Who: Dreamland, What's New, Scooby Doo?, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Men in Black: The Series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

"Over the past 18 months he approached his diagnosis with a characteristic grace and dignity," his family said in a statement given to the BBC. "He will be missed hugely by us, his family and friends, and remembered as a kind-hearted, generous and compassionate man, partner and father, whose legacy of extraordinary work has touched the lives of so many over the years. We are heartbroken."

Warner is survived by his partner, Lisa Bowerman, his son Luke and daughter-in-law Sarah, and his first wife Harriet Evans.
