American actor and comedian Martin Mull, known for his work on the TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Roseanne, has died at the age of 80.

Moll, who starred in the 1985 comedy “Clue,” died Thursday at his home after a “courageous fight against a long illness,” his daughter, Maggie Moll, said on social media.

In a tribute on Instagram, Ms. Moll wrote that her father “was known for excelling in every creative field imaginable, including doing commercials for Red Roof Inn.”

“He found that joke funny, and he was never unfunny,” she added.

Moll’s first notable role was in 1976, playing Garth Gimple in the satirical television series Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, which led to two additional episodic roles, including in the series Fernwood 2 Night.

He then landed the role of army officer Colonel Mustard in the black comedy film Clue, inspired by the board game of the same name.

Around that time, he also began voicing the Red Roof Inn ads that his daughter mentioned in her tribute.

’90s TV fans will recognize Moll from his work on Roseanne, where he played the titular character’s boss Leon Karp, or on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, where he played Principal Willard Kraft.

Moll also appeared in the critically acclaimed satirical comedy series Arrested Development, playing the unlucky private investigator Gene Parmesan.

He has guest starred on many other popular television shows, including The Simpsons, Family Guy, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The Golden Girls and Two and a Half Men.

Moll was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his four-episode appearance on the HBO political satire series Veep in 2016.

Born in Chicago to an actress father and a carpenter mother, Moll began his career in show business as a songwriter and became famous as a musical comedian. He opened for Frank Zappa and Bruce Springsteen live at several concerts in the early 1970s.

He also studied painting and graduated in 1965 from the Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

In a 2013 interview with the AV Club, he said of his acting career: “Every painter I know has a day job. “They either teach art at a college or drive a taxi.”

“I happen to have a day job that’s very unusual and fun and affords me a lot of paint to buy,” he said.

In addition to his daughter Maggie, a television writer, he is survived by his wife Wendy Haas, an actress and composer whom he married in 1982.
