Martin Mull has died<\/p>\n
The legendary comedian and television star – who was best known for his work on shows including ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ and ‘Roseanne’ – passed away on Thursday (27.06.24) following a long illness, his devastated daughter Maggie Mull has announced.<\/p>\n
Maggie revealed on Instagram: “I am heartbroken to share that my father passed away at home on June 27th, after a valiant fight against a long illness.<\/p>\n
“He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials. He would find that joke funny. He was never not funny.<\/p>\n
“My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and\u2014the sign of a truly exceptional person\u2014by many, many dogs. I loved him tremendously.”<\/p>\n
\nFollowing the news, Melissa Joan Hart paid a lengthy tribute to her ‘Sabrina’ co-star, who had played Principal Willard Kraft in more than 70 episodes of her beloved teen comedy.<\/p>\n
\nSharing a throwback photo from the set, Melissa, 48, wrote on Instagram: “Rest in Peace my friend. The incredible #MartinMull (Principal Kraft) has left us for his eternal rest. I have such fond memories of working with him and being in awe of his huge body of work which before #SabrinaTheTeemageWitch included #Roseanne and #MrMom as the projects I knew him from. <\/p>\n
\n“And after our sabrina days, his body of work multiplied with guest star and recurring roles on huge shows as well as features and animation.<\/p>\n
\n“He once told me that he takes every job he’s offered just in case the train comes to an end, which in this business tends to halt quickly.<\/p>\n
\n“But he was an artist who liked to paint and build things with his hands, a musician and a wonderful man who i am better for knowing. He will be missed but this world has benefited from his being here. <\/p>\n
\n“My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. I will continue to cherish the Martin Mull art work hanging in my home!”<\/p>\n
\nMartin first rose to fame in the 1970s after starring in soap opera parody ‘Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman’ and spin-offs ‘Fernwood 2 Night’ and ‘America 2 Night’.<\/p>\n
\nAs well as ‘Sabrina’ and ‘Roseanne’, the actor also appeared in shows including ‘Two and a Half Men’, ‘Arrested Development’, ‘Veep’ – for which his guest role secured him an Emmy nomination in 2016 – and ‘The Cool Kids’, while his cinema credits include ‘Clue’, ‘Far Out Man’, and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’.<\/p>\n
\nMartin also had a career in music, writing songs including the theme tune from ‘The 51st State’ and serving as music producer on 1971 movie ‘Jump’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
