R.I.P. SCTV / SNL alum Tony Rosato
“It’s heartbreaking”: SNL alum Tony Rosato dead at 62
Toronto comic actor who endured a stint in jail and battled a mental disorder died on Monday evening, according to his girlfriend’s post on Facebook.
Toronto comic actor Tony Rosato, veteran of SCTV, Saturday Night Live and more, has died.
The 62-year-old's death on the evening of Jan. 10 was confirmed Tuesday by his longtime agent Larry Goldhar, who said that an autopsy is planned, but the death apparently resulted from a heart attack.
"It's heartbreaking," Goldhar told the Star. "He is truly one of the gentlest people I have ever met. He was just such a kind person."
Goldhar recalled that Rosato was "grateful all the time" and that it was a pleasure to work for him. "I can tell you, every time I saw him he would tell me, 'I love you.' Like, every single time. You know? That's the kind of person he was."
