Philip McKeon, best known for playing Tommy Hyatt on "Alice," has died. He was 55.
The actor died in Texas on Tuesday after a long battle with illness, McKeon's spokesman Jeff Ballard told People magazine.
“We are all beyond heartbroken and devastated over Phil’s passing,” said Ballard in a statement to the outlet. “His wonderful sense of humor, kindness and loyalty will be remembered by all who crossed his path in life.”
McKeon starred in "Alice" from 1976 to 1985 alongside Linda Lavin. The show won eight Golden Globes, and was based on Martin Scorsese's "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore."
McKeon is survived by his sister Nancy McKeon, who starred in "The Facts of Life."

I remember that show, too. Philip was my age. Rest in peace, Phil.
Way to young....
Surprised to hear this. They didn’t mention what his illness was. RIP.
I live only a few miles away from Mel’s Diner, might be a good time to finally check it out.
