Actor Robert Hogan has died at age 87, USA Today reports. The All My Children and The Wire star died at home in Maine May 27 of complications with pneumonia, his family shared.

Over the course of his six-decade long acting career, Hogan appeared in dozens of popular series, earning over 100 credits in total. His career includes stints on ’60s series like Hazel, The Donna Reed Show, Gomer Pyle: USMC, The Twilight Zone and Dr. Kildare, plus ’70s hits I Dream of Jeannie, Gunsmoke, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Hawaii Five-O. In the ’80s, Hogan joined shows like T.J. Hooker, Laverne & Shirley, One Day at a Time, The Fall Guy and Magnum, P.I., and later appeared on Cosby and Now and Again.

Hogan was also a regular on multiple daytime soap operas like The Young Marrieds, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, Another World, As the World Turns, All My Children and One Life to Live. His more recent work includes multiple Law & Order series, The Wire and Happyish. And while he was a staple on TV for years, Hogan also extended his acting career into film, starring in movies like The Lady in Red, Species II, Blue Christmas, The Sleepy Time Gal and Welcome to Academia.

Despite his prolific onscreen career, Hogan never originally intended to be an actor. The Queens native enrolled in NYU after the Korean War and planned to study engineering, but turned to acting after a professor encouraged him to take an aptitude test. Hogan then joined the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and launched his acting career in 1961 with the off-Broadway production of “Call Me by My Rightful Name.”

Hogan is survived by his wife, Mary Hogan, and his three children from a previous marriage to Shannon Hogan — Chris, Stephen, and Jud — as well as his two grandchildren, Susanna and Liam.

Donations in Hogan’s name can be made to DOROT, a New York City nonprofit, or the Alzheimer’s Association.
