Harry Landis, star of Friday Night Dinner and EastEnders, dies at the age of 90.

Harry Landis, best known for his roles on Friday Night Dinner and EastEnders, has died at the age of 90.

The actor had been in the business since the 1940s, appearing in more than 200 TV shows and countless theatre productions.

On EastEnders he played the role of Felix Kawalski between 1995 and 1997, while on Friday Night Dinner he appeared as Mr Morris, the cantankerous boyfriend of Grandma (Frances Cuka).

A statement from Landis's agent Sharry Clark Artists said: "Sad news. Our lovely client Harry Landis has passed to spirit.

"Harry had an amazing career and gained a new following in later life as Mr Morris in Friday Night Dinner. It was a privilege to have worked with him as a client.

"Harry you will be sadly missed. RIP."

Landis is the fourth cast member of the Channel 4 sitcom to die in the last two years after the passings of Paul Ritter, Cuka and Rosalind Knight.
