The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\nPalumbo told the publication that Driscoll, who had stomach cancer, died of a saddle pulmonary embolism on 15th December 2023 in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The actor is a well-known face in the TV landscape, and had guest roles in the likes of Sex and the City, where he played a fake Fendi bag seller during Carrie and Samantha\u2019s trip to LA, Mad Men and This Is Us.<\/p>\n
Driscoll also had a recurring role in TNT sci-fi series The Last Ship as East Coast leader Randall Croft.<\/p>\n
A New York native, the actor pursued acting at the University of Miami, and was part of the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre apprenticeship programme.<\/p>\n
He went on to act alongside Reynolds in the Michael Crichton-directed Physical Evidence (1989) and Breaking In (1989).<\/p>\n
He also landed roles in two of Reynolds\u2019s TV shows BL Stryker and Evening Shade.<\/p>\n
In addition to appearing in Reynolds\u2019s projects, Driscoll\u2019s further big screen roles include action thriller Cellular (2004) and 2002\u2019s Boat Trip, starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Roger Moore.<\/p>\n
Driscoll often played men in uniform, and appeared in many crime dramas over the years, including CSI: Miami, Future Man, How to Get Away with Murder, Outlaw and Desperate Housewives.<\/p>\n
He also acted in theatre, most notably playing loan shark Angelo \u2018Gyp\u2019 DeCarlo in a West Coast touring company of Jersey Boys.<\/p>\n
The actor was also a host for more than 20 years at karaoke bar Dimples in Burbank. The since-shuttered venue posted a tribute on Instagram in the wake of his death.<\/p>\n
\u201cRIP Eddie Driscoll,\u201d they wrote. \u201cHe was the funniest and most talented person that ever worked at Dimples, despite getting fired 9 times (How dare you! \u2013 he would had said and then corrected me to tell me it was more times than 9).<\/p>\n
\u201cHe never turned down an opportunity to dress funny and always controversial. He had the best costumes. He will be greatly missed by so many people especially our Dimples family\u201d.<\/p>\n
Driscoll was also a host at Fox Fire Room, which held a celebration of his life back in January.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
