Kevin O'Neal dead: No Time For Sergeants star and brother of Ryan O'Neal dies aged 77
The actor, and younger brother of star Ryan O'Neal, died on Saturday January 28 in his California home at the age of 77. Deadline reported that the star died of natural causes, while his nephew, Patrick O'Neal, announced his death on social media.
Writing on Instagram, Patrick shared: "Kevin had a wicked sense of humor, just like his older brother, and we have his stories to keep him in our hearts forever.
"When Kevin walked into a room you heard him before you saw him. That energy and personality is an old O'Neal trademark.
"Heaven better be ready for him!"
The actor began his acting career in television in the early 1960s, alongside his older brother Ryan.
Kevin made a range of guest appearances on the likes of The Danny Thomas Show, The Donna Reed Show and The Twilight Zone.
However, the star was mostly known for his role in the television adaptation of No Time For Sergeants.
While originally a novel, the tale had been adapted to the stage and big screen, with Kevin leading its small screen debut in 1964.
The 1960s held many television roles for the rising star, and he ended the decade by appearing in a feature film The Trouble With Girls, acting opposite the late Elvis Presley.
During the 1970s the actor began joining his brother in high-profile movies like Love Story and The Thief Who Came to Dinner before retiring from showbiz in the late 1970s.
The actor is survived by his son Garrett, his older brother Ryan and Ryan's children, Tatum, Griffin and Patrick.
