Tributes have been pouring in on social media. Valerie Perrine took to Twitter to say,” I’ve always had such fond memories of him. He brought so much to Otis and brought him to life like no other actor could have. He’s an unforgettable performer and his talent will be missed. I’ll see you in Otisberg one of these days!
