American actor Patrick Muldoon has died at the age of 57 on Sunday, it has been reported.
The actor, producer and musician, starred in the popular teen series Saved By The Bell in the early ‘90s and soap opera Days Of Our Lives.
Muldoon reportedly suffered a heart attack, however as of yet there is no official cause of his death.
He was described as “endlessly generous”, as tributes have poured in from those closest to him.
The late actor was described as “stylish, charismatic, and full of life”, with a friend adding that he “embraced each day with a full-tilt, rock ’n’ roll spirit.”
Born in California, Muldoon started his career in the early 90s, and made his TV debut that same year by appearing in two episodes of popular sitcom Who’s The Boss, before landing a small part in Saved By The Bell as Jeff, alongside Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Dustin Diamond and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.
However, in 1992 he was given one of the biggest roles of his career as Austin Reed in Days Of Our Lives.
One of his more famous roles on the big screen is that in the cult sci-fi film Starship Troopers, in which he appeared alongside ex-girlfriend Denise Richards.
He also appeared in films such as Stigmata, Saving Christmas, Marlowe, Spiders 3D and The Comeback Trail.
His last film credit was in 2024’s Murder at Hollow Creek. He is survived by his partner, Miriam Rothbart and his parents, Deanna and Patrick Muldoon Sr.
