The actor was best known for his mainstay on British comedy franchise “Carry On.”

British actor Julian Holloway has died at the age of 80. In a statement to The Guardian, the actor’s agents confirmed that he died in hospital on Feb. 16 after dealing with a “brief illness.” Holloway was largely known for his work and comedic prowess in the British film franchise Carry On, appearing in eight of the series’ films in the late 1960s and 1970s. He also starred in a handful of beloved TV shows including Doctor Who and The Sweeney, and dabbled in voice acting for classics like Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the Regular Show. He’s survived by his daughter, author and former fashion model Sophie Dahl, whom he welcomed with British author Tessa Dahl—herself the daughter of beloved children’s author Roald Dahl.
