Tim O’Connor, a character actor best known for playing Mia Farrow’s father Elliot Carson on the ‘60s ABC soap opera “Peyton Place,” has died at age 90, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Friday.

The Union reported Wednesday O’Connor died April 5 at his home in Nevada City, California.

Reps for O’ Connor, as well as Farrow, did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

The Chicago native, a beloved television staple, starred as Dr. Elias Huer on the NBC sci-fi series “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.” In 1963, he played the captain of a ship determined to rescue earthlings on "The Twilight Zone.” He also guest-starred in 1975’s “All in the Family” as Edith’s (Jean Stapleton) former sweetheart.
