Roger E. Mosley, an actor who appeared in the iconic 1980s crime drama Magnum, PI died Sunday of injuries sustained in a traffic accident last week, his daughter announced. He was 83 years old.
Mosley, who played helicopter pilot Theodore “TC” Calvin in the hit series, died surrounded by family. He had been paralyzed from the shoulders down and in critical condition since the accident, his daughter Ch-a Mosley wrote on Facebook.
“We could never mourn such an incredible man. I would hate any mourning done in his name. Time to celebrate the legacy he left us all,” his daughter wrote.
Fellow actor Richard Brooks paid tribute to Mosley on Sunday.
“We lost another great actor and legend today,” Brooks wrote on Twitter.
“I really enjoyed working with Roger. He really came through for me when I produced my first play. He was the best. Condolences to the Mosley family.”
Mosley starred on the show alongside Tom Selleck for eight seasons from 1980 to 1988.
