'Felicity' Actor Erich Anderson Dies at 67 After Cancer Battle
Erich Anderson, known for playing Felicity’s dad on the hit Keri Russell-led series Felicity, has passed away at the age of 67.
He had been battling cancer, and passed on May 31 in Los Angeles, his wife Saxon Trainor announced on social media.
She posted, “My husband Erich died this morning. I am sharing my brother-in-law Michael O’Malley’s words as I am too bereft now to write anything.”
She included her brother-in-law’s words, which read, “My brother in law Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer. He had a long successful career as an actor—he was on that old show 30 something; he was Felicity’s father on “Felicity;” he was killed in a basement in a Friday the 13th movie: he was on Star Trek and dozens of other shows. He was a smart and funny guy, a fantastic cook; he wrote three great novels which you can find on Amazon. I’ll miss him but his ordeal is over.”
He appeared in numerous TV series over the years including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Melrose Place, Matlock, Sisters, 7th Heaven, Bosch, and more.
Our condolences go out to Erich Anderson‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this time. RIP.
