Actor Eddie Driscoll, who was most recognized for his parts in Sex and the City, Entourage, and Mad Men, passed away. He was sixty years old.
A Hollywood colleague and longtime friend of Driscoll, Jimmy Palumbo, confirmed that he had passed away. “A real talent,” as he puts it.
Palumbo claims, “Eddie Driscoll could do it all—sing, dance, act, and do comedy.” “He was always at work. He was constantly scheduling jobs. Everyone with whom he collaborated adored him.”
After fighting stomach cancer for several months, Driscoll passed away in Los Angeles on December 15, according to Palumbo. “He was a trooper, even though it got difficult at the end. As long as he could, he held on. “Pallumbo continued.
“A life-threatening condition characterized by a large blood clot that lodges at the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery, obstructing blood flow to both lungs,” according to Yale Medicine, is what happened to him. It was a saddle pulmonary embolism.
Alongside celebrities like Carol Burnett and Reynolds himself, Eddie Driscoll studied acting at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre in North Palm Beach, Florida. He went on to co-star in TV series and films with the Boogie Nights star.
Alongside Reynolds, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 82, Driscoll starred in the films Physical Evidence and Breaking In. Together, they starred in Evening Shade and B.L. Stryker.
Later, Eddie Driscoll could be seen in a number of popular television series, such as This Is Us, Mad Men, Entourage, Desperate Housewives, and Sex and the City. In addition, he made multiple guest appearances on Days of Our Lives and played Randall Croft in TNT’s The Last Ship.
Alongside his acting career, Driscoll had worked at two karaoke establishments in California: Fox Fire Room and Dimples, which is now closed but is referred to by Palumbo as the “first karaoke bar in the world, really.”
There was a memorial service held in his honor, and according to Palumbo, “a huge turnout.” It is what I refer to as L.A. showbiz’s underbelly. There were working actors and stars in the room, but there was also this underbelly… His social circle was quite intriguing.”
