Treat Williams, the star of Everwood and Hair, has died after being involved in a motorcycle accident. He was 71. The actor’s death was confirmed to PEOPLE on Monday evening by his agent of 15 years, Barry McPherson. “He was killed this afternoon.

The actor’s longstanding career dates back to 1975, when he made his film debut in the thriller Deadly Hero. From there, he began to take on more film roles, including 1976’s The Ritz and The Eagle Has Landed. In 1979, Williams’ career reached a high point when he starred as George Berger in the film Hair, which was based on the Broadway musical. The role ultimately earned him his first Golden Globe nomination.

Williams had a popular Twitter account, where yesterday he posted about the simple pleasure of mowing one’s lawn. In 2016, I had the pleasure of seeing Williams perform at Broadway Backwards, the annual fundraiser for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, where he performed “Frank Mills” from Hair.
