“With great sadness, the family of Michael G. Hagerty announced his death yesterday in Los Angeles,” wrote Everett on Instagram. “A beloved character actor, his love of his hometown of Chicago and his family were the cornerstones of his life. … He will be sorely missed.”

He also appeared in several movies, including the 1990 film Dick Tracy where he played a doorman. He also participated in other early 1990s works such as V.I. Warshawski and Wayne’s World — the latter being his first film with Mike Myers. Hagerty would go on to appear in the SNL alum’s So I Married an Axe Murderer and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Hagerty held an alma mater from the University of Illinois at Chicago. His personal life is relatively private. He is survived by his wife Mary Kathryn; his sister, Mary Ann Hagerty; her wife, Kathleen O’Rourke; and their daughter Meg.
