Michael McGrath, the Tony-winning actor known for his work in “Spamalot” and “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” has died at 65, according to multiple media reports.
McGrath died unexpectedly in his sleep on Thursday at his home in Bloomfield, New Jersey. A cause of death is yet to be determined.
McGrath was first nominated for a Tony for his run in the original version of “Spamalot.” Based on “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” the comedy mocks the Arthurian legend.
McGrath played the servant Patsy, who follows King Arthur (Tim Curry) around with two coconut shells he beats together to recreate the sound of horse hooves.
