Emmy Award-winning actor Larry Drake has died, his agent Michael Eisenstadt confirmed to ABC News.

He was 66 years old.

"Larry was such a nice man and a great and versatile actor," Eisenstadt said.

Drake was perhaps best known for playing Benny Stulwicz, a developmentally delayed law firm employee on "L.A. Law" from 1987 to 1994. He won two Emmys for the role, in 1989 and 1983.

I laughed when he turned up in “Spun.” RIP, Larry.

Olivia de Haviland is 99.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti is 96.

I keep my eye on them.

His “Dark Night of the Scarecrow” was amazingly well done.

I and my sisters couldn’t believe it was allowed on broadcast television, but after buying the film on DVD, I realize the worst scenes were off camera.

He was excellent in that movie.

He played the lead role in “Dr. Giggles”, a fine horror film.

That contains one of my favorite movie quotes: “Point Number 3: there are seven more points”.
