Gray, who started his acting career at Perth Theatre in the late 1970s, shot to fame in the 1980s with the BBC Scotland sitcom City Lights, playing Chancer, the sidekick of Willie Melvin, who was played by Gerard Kelly.
Reruns of the show, which also featured Dave Anderson, Iain McColl, Elaine C Smith and Jonathan Watson, were only recently broadcast by BBC Scotland again.
Gray, who joined the cast of River City in 2016, had previously battled blood cancer after being diagnosed in 2018, but made a comeback in the King’s panto the following year. More recently he had fought against a Covid positive diagnosis.
