LOS ANGELES (AP) — The comedic character actor Richard Libertini has died. He was 82.

Libertini’s ex-wife Melinda Dillon says he died Jan. 7 after a two-year battle with cancer.

The bald-and-bearded actor portrayed such memorable characters as the wacky Latin American general from 1979’s “The In-Laws,” the eccentric Tibetan mystic from 1984’s “All of Me,” and the boss of Chevy Chase’s newspaper reporter Irwin Fletcher in the “Fletch” films.
