Martin Mull, a well-known comedian and actor, passed away at the age of 80, his family has confirmed.\"Martin640 \u00d7 872<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Mull\u2019s daughter Maggie says her father passed away at home \u201cafter a valiant fight against a long illness.\u201d This was posted by Maggie on Instagram.<\/p>\n

He was renowned for his exceptional abilities in all creative fields and for his work on Red Roof Inn advertisements,\u201d the author stated.<\/p>\n

He would find that joke funny.\u201d He always had a sense of humor. Many people adored my dad: his wife and daughter, his friends and colleagues, other performers, comedians, and artists, and most importantly, a huge number of dogs. I cherished him dearly.<\/p>\n

Mull\u2019s most well-known roles were likely in the comedy of the same name, when he played Roseanne Connor\u2019s friend Leon Carp and Sabrina the Teenage Witch principal Willard Kraft.<\/p>\n

He also portrayed Arrested Development\u2019s private eye Gene Parmesean.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Mull received a single Emmy nomination for his Veep character Bob Bradley.<\/p>\n

Among the numerous roles Mull performed in his career was co-writing, alongside Fred Willard, the mockumentary The History of White People in America in 1985.<\/p>\n

He was a comedy and songwriting enthusiast. Country music icon Jane Morgan parodied A Boy Named Sue in his song A Girl Named Johnny Cash, which was released in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

The song was number one on Billboard\u2019s Hot Country Songs list for five weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
