Actor Brent Briscoe, known for his roles in "Spider-Man 2," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Sling Blade" and "The Green Mile," died at the age of 56.
Briscoe's death was confirmed by his family, and the actor was remembered by his friend, Kerry Carpenter, in a Facebook post.
"It is with a sad and heavy heart that I can share what I just learned via his family," Carpenter's post read.
"Brent Briscoe passed away this morning in Los Angeles. He was surrounded by his father Carl, his sister Shelley, and brother Kent. Brent was a proud Moberly native, an accomplished actor in TV and movies, an incredible pitcher and shortstop in his day, and a friend to so many. Please keep Brent's family in your thoughts and prayers...as it has been less than a year since his mother passed away. I'm sure she was there to greet him in heaven. Rest in peace old friend."
Variety reported that Briscoe died of internal bleeding and heart complications after suffering a severe fall.
