Actor Erich Anderson Dies at 67 After Cancer Battle
Erich Anderson, best known for his roles in Thirtysomething and Felicity, died over the weekend at age 67 after battling cancer.
His wife, actress Saxon Trainer, confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing a message from Anderson’s brother-in-law, Michael O’Malley.
“My brother-in-law Erich Anderson passed this morning after a brutal struggle with cancer,” O’Malley wrote.
“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.”
Remembered for his humor and talent beyond acting, O’Malley added, “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.”
