Actor Stephen Furst, 63, died on Friday from complications from diabetes, according to his sons’ announcement on Facebook.

Furst is best known for his breakout role as Flounder in the iconic film “National Lampoon’s Animal House.” His character’s real name, Kent Dorfman, was quickly forgotten in favor the nickname given to him by his fraternity brothers. Flounder begins the movie as a “real zero” and gets involved in the hilarious frat hijinks that propel the film.

For some, it was hard to imagine Furst as anyone other than the iconic Delta frat brother, but the actor had a long list of credits that include the television series’ “St. Elsewhere” and “Babylon 5.” He also had a career as a voice actor, recording for cartoons such as “Freakazoid!” and “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.”
