Actor Larry Drake has died at the age of 66. TMZ reports the actor had been having some weight-related health issues of late, but nothing "terminal" as far his rep could confirm.

Drake's biggest TV role was as Benny Stulwicz on L.A. Law, which ran for 144 episodes over eight seasons on NBC, between 1988 and 1994. He reprised that role in 2002's L.A. Law: The Movie.

ABC cancelled Drake's Prey, starring Debra Messing, after airing 13 episodes.
