Richard Chamberlain, the award-winning actor who played TV's "Dr. Kildare" and starred in popular miniseries including "The Thorn Birds" and "Shōgun," has died at 90.

Harlan Boll, Chamberlain's representative, confirmed to USA TODAY on Sunday that the actor died Saturday from complications following a stroke. He would have celebrated his 91st birthday Monday.

Born in Los Angeles in 1934, Chamberlain was a U.S Army veteran who served in Korea before he began to pursue acting, getting his start in a 1959 episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." After popping up on episodes of shows like "Gunsmoke" and "Riverboat," Chamberlain landed his breakthrough role as Dr. Kildare, a young medical intern, on the medical drama of the same name, which ran on NBC from 1961 to 1966. He won a Golden Globe Award for the role.
