John Hillerman, who made a living out of being a character actor, including Tom Selleck’s fastidious estate caretaker Jonathan Quayle Higgins III on Magnum, P.I., died Thursday. He was 84.

During Hillerman’s acting career he received four Emmy nominations in consecutive years for portraying Higgins and won in 1987. Hillerman, died at his home in Houston, family spokeswoman Lori De Waal told the Associated Press. She said the cause of death had not been determined.
