Prolific American actor Michael Massee has passed away aged 61, his agency Greene & Associates has confirmed. EW is reporting that he died on October 20th after a battle with cancer.

Massee amassed almost 80 screen credits in his career, including roles in Seven, The Game, Lost Highway, Catwoman, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, while on the small screen he appeared in the likes of 24, The X-Files, Criminal Minds and Supernatural.
