Brian Turk has died at the age of 49 following a battle with cancer.

The actor was best known for his role on “Beverly Hills, 90210” and also starred in HBO’s “Carnivale,” “ER,” and “Boy Meets World.”

Turk also had many film credits to his name, including “American Pie 2,” “Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles,” and “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.”

Turk leaves behind his wife and his 8-year-old son.

A GoFundMe named In Support of the Brian Turk Family was set up in July to support Turk and his close relatives as he battled the disease.

It read: “Just over a year ago our dear friend, Brian Turk, was diagnosed with cancer.

“Being the selfless and private person that he is, Brian kept this quiet so as not to concern his family and friends.

“Unfortunately, the cancer has now become terminal.

“Brian has impacted so many of us in a positive way whether it be on the football field, at Mater Dei or USC, on stage or in our personal lives. He has always been there for us in our times of need and celebration.”
