Actor Rif Hutton, best known for appearing on “Doogie Howser, M.D.” and “JAG,” has died. He was 73.

Hutton’s family told TMZ he died at his home in Pasadena, California, on Saturday after a more than one-year battle with brain cancer.

They noted he was surrounded by loved ones at the time of his death. He is survived by his wife and son, the outlet reported.

The actor played Dr. Ron Welch on “Doogie Howser, M.D.” throughout the series’ four-season run from 1989 to 1993.

Hutton’s recurring character was friendly with the show’s titular character, a teenage physician played by Neil Patrick Harris.

Elsewhere on TV, Hutton played Lieutenant Commander Alan Mattoni of the United States Navy on “JAG” during season 3 to season 6 of the legal drama’s 10-season run.

Hutton also was known for his work in soap operas, appearing on both “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “General Hospital.” He played a few different characters on the former, and the role of Lenny Caulfield on the latter.

Eagle-eyed TV fans may also remember him from a string of commercials in the ’90s in which he played a KFC restaurant owner.

On the big screen, he largely found success in the voice acting world, working on films like “Shrek,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and numerous other animated franchises.

“A remarkable human being has left this earthly plane,” fellow voice actor Steve Apostolina wrote in a tribute posted on Facebook. To say that Rif Hutton was one of a kind is a gross understatement. There will never be another like him – perhaps his son Wolfy will come closest.”

“Rif Hutton was a man of action. He inspired so many and leaves behind a legion of loyal admirers – people who loved him. Stories of his generosity would blow your mind,” he continued.

Apostolina added, “F–k cancer in general, but in particular glioblastoma [brain cancer]. I was lucky to cross his path and I am a better person for knowing him.”
