Eddie Driscoll, an actor best known for his roles on Mad Men, Entourage and Sex and the City, has died. He was 60.

Driscoll’s life-long friend and fellow actor Jimmy Palumbo confirmed his death to PEOPLE. He describes him as "a real talent."

"He could do it all – sing, dance, act, comedy," Palumbo says. "He worked all the time. He was always booking work. Everyone that worked with him loved him."

Driscoll died in Los Angeles on Dec. 15 after a months-long battle with stomach cancer, per Palumbo. "It got tough there at the end, but he was a trooper. He hung on as long as he could."

He suffered a saddle pulmonary embolism, which Yale Medicine notes is "a life-threatening condition characterized by a large blood clot that lodges at the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery, obstructing blood flow to both lungs."
