In a post on Instagram, his Brooklyn Nine-Nine  co-star Terry Crews wrote: ‘I’m honored to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts.

‘You left us too soon. You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you. Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship. Deepest condolences to your wife and family in this difficult time. You showed me what a life well lived looks like.’

Co-star Chelsea Peretti added: ‘Will miss your dulcet tones. Forever lucky to have gone on such a journey with you. Ringside seat.

‘You were so funny to me and the epitome of still waters run deep. I will always cherish our conversations, often with me hanging in your doorway barring your exit, and the insane opportunity to be your sidekick.’

Here are some of his funnest moments on the show:
