James Avery, a.k.a. Uncle Phil on TV’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air passed away yesterday at age 65, following complications from open heart surgery.
His co-star Alfonso Ribeiro (that would be his on-screen son Carlton on the show) was the first to announce the sad news via Twitter.
“The world has lost a truly special man,” he wrote. “He was a second father to me. He will be deeply missed.”
Avery was most recently seen in a recurring role on TNT’s The Closer.
