John Ashton, the actor best known as Detective Sergeant John Taggart in the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ franchise, has died at the age of 76, after a battle with cancer.

During his 50 years in Hollywood, John appeared in more than 200 film, TV and stage productions.

The Springfield, MA native also appeared in “M*A*S*H” and played Eric Stoltz’s father in the John Hughes comedy-drama “Some Kind of Wonderful.” In 1988, he co-starred in the action-comedy “Midnight Run” as a rival bounty hunter to Robert De Niro‘s character.

His rep Alan Somers told TMZ, “John leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and service. His memory will forever be treasured by his wife, children, grandchildren, as well as his brother, sisters, his extended family and all who loved him. John’s impact on the world will be remembered and celebrated for generations to come.”
