Gavin Creel, a Tony-winning theater actor known for his work in shows like "Hello, Dolly!" and "Hair," has died. He was 48.
Creel died on Monday at his home in New York from metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma, a form of cancer, a representative for the actor confirmed to USA TODAY. He was diagnosed in July and received treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering before he transitioned to hospice care at home.
Creel won the Tony in 2017 for best featured actor in a musical for his performance as Cornelius Hackl in "Hello, Dolly!" He received his first Tony nomination for best leading actor in a musical in 2002, when he starred as Jimmy Smith in that year's best musical winner, "Thoroughly Modern Millie." The role was his Broadway debut, though he had been performing in stage productions since the late '90s.
