'Andrew was loved by audiences for his many roles, most notably Butterflies, Coronation Street and, more recently, Syfy's Blood Drive.'
His agent Alex Segal said: 'Andrew's most recent TV job was in a Syfy series called 'Blood Drive'.
'His character name was The Gentleman. That couldn't be more apt. It's the perfect way to describe Andrew.
