Actor Norman Lloyd has died at the age of 106.
Lloyd s son, Michael Lloyd, said his father died Tuesday at his home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Lloyd was known for playing Mr. Nolan in Dead Poet s Society and was nominated for two Emmy awards for producing the TV series The Name of the Game in 1970 and the made-for-television movie Steambath in 1974.
His acting days date clear back to Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre troupe and was part of its very first production: a Broadway adaptation of Julius Caesar originally by William Shakespeare.
Throughout his career, he performed and directed on Broadway several more times, with projects including two more Shakespeare plays: King Lear and The Taming of the Shrew.

To call an actor a Hollywood legend sounds like hyperbole, but Norman Lloyd really was.
He died Tuesday at his home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to his manager, Marion Rosenberg, as quoted by the Associated Press.
Norman Lloyd, born in 1914, got his start performing with the Federal Theatre Project, part of President Franklin Roosevelt s New Deal in the 1930s. It employed hundreds of out of work actors. Lloyd, the son of a Jersey City store manager, soon started acting with Orson Welles at his acclaimed Mercury Theatre.
