"90210" Actor Found Dead

Posted Apr 9th 2008 4:14PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: According to Kamel's rep, the actor had a heart attack.

Actor Stanley Kamel was found dead in his Hollywood home.

Kamel, who had been starring on "Monk," also played mafioso Tony Marchette, the father of Rebecca Gayheart's character Antonia, on "90210." He ordered a hit to be put out on Dylan, but ended up killing his daughter instead.

L.A. Fire officials tell TMZ they responded to a 911 call from Kamel's Hollywood Hills home yesterday just before 4:00 PM. They tell us their investigation is still "incomplete."

A cause of death at this time is unknown, but the L.A. County Coroner tells us they don't have the case. According to AccessHollywood.com, the actor was found by his longtime agents.

18. Presently, AccessHollywood is saying that it was a heart attack (click on link in story). Truly sad, he is great on Monk and I do remember him as the tough Tony Marchette on 90210 - stellar performer. May you rest in peace and may your family be blessed with only strong, good memories of your life on earth. You will be missed...

20. He was a very charismatic presence on screen. Those eyes and that voice made him stand out from the crowd. Sometimes I miss the character actors more than the primaries. He's one of those guys that you know you've seen in a hundred things but you can only name 1 or 2 at any given moment. Probably why TMZ mentioned 90210. It was a big role for him at the time. For once I don't think TMZ meant any disrespect. You just tend to pick the biggies to jar peoples memories.

22. I hate it when people take the time and then write "Who". My dear, Ima Fibbin, and anyone who follows suit, you have just displayed your ignorance. Nice work.

B.D
Someone dies and all you want to comment on is that you're first? You are an IDIOT! Clearly, B.D. stands for Big Douchebag. TMZ really needs to filter out the firsts....it is beyond annoying and juevenile. GROW UP FIRST PEOPLE!

24. Yes, being in 8 episodes of "90210" is his most known role, not his 6 seasons on "Monk".

29. To B.D. and "Structure matters"...

When you die, nobody in your miserable existence will care; It will simply go unnoticed!!

How's that for "First" or your worthless post?

The entertainment industry lost another talented actor! My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
