Erich Anderson, the actor who played Keri Russell's dad on 'Felicity,' and also starred in 'Thirtysomething,' 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,' and 'Unfaithful,' has died after a 'brutal struggle with cancer.'

Anderson was reported to be 67 at the time of his death, although only his birth year of 1957 was publicly listed.

"My husband Erich died this morning," she wrote alongside a photo of the late star. Then, explaining she was "too bereft" to write more herself, Trainor quoted her brother-in-law Michael O’Malley, who wrote: "Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer. He had a long successful career as an actor—he was on that old show 30 something; he was Felicity’s father onand dozens of other shows.

, beside a photo of the duo on the show. “He was a magnificent part of the world. I loved him. I wish you’d known him, there was no one like him. So funny, so open to whatever the day brought him, so wickedly cynical and joyous at once.” Referencing later seasons of the show, she noted that they crossed paths less after their characters got divorced: “I saw him less on set, but was always happy when we found each other in LA, we’d hang out and talk for hours. He was so smart,” she wrote, before adding, “Ah, look at this Erich, I’m using the past tense. My friend, I hope I see you again in dreams and other dimensions. Fly high, my friend.
