Harvey Atkin, best known for his role as Desk Sgt. Ronald Coleman on the 80’s cop-drama "Cagney & Lacey", has died in his hometown of Toronto. He was 74.

“It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved friend, husband, father and grandfather, Harvey passed away peacefully last night following his battle with cancer,” Larry Goldhar, Atkin’s agent, said in a statement, our sister site Deadline reports.

Atkin had his breakout role in the 1979 cult-comedy Meatballs, as camp director Morty Melnick opposite Bill Murray.

Following his seven-season run on "Cagney & Lacey", Atkin lent his voice to the alien-puppet comedy "ALF" before voicing multiple characters on "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!".

Atkin was credited as "Additional Voices" on the "A.L.F." cartoon, not the live-action show.
