He passed away Tuesday of cardiac arrest in New York City, his family and manager, Sue Leibman, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Originally from Los Angeles, the actor honed his craft at UCLA and made his New York theater debut in 1963 with the play “Next Time I’ll Sing to You.” Over a career spanning fifty years, he has featured in more than 100 films and TV shows, becoming a familiar figure to many. His filmography includes roles in “Ghostbusters II,” “Clear and Present Danger,” “The Hurricane,” and “Rush Hour 2.”

He appeared in the popular sitcom “Frasier,” which earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series. 

Later in his career, he starred in “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Billions,” and “FBI: Most Wanted.”

According to Deadline, the actor was gearing up to begin production this week for the MGM+ series “American Classic,” which stars Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. Directed by Michael Hoffman, Yulin’s family mentioned he was “thrilled” to collaborate with Hoffman again, having previously worked with him on the 2005 movie “Game 6.”

He is survived by his wife Kristen Lowman, his son-in-law Ted Mineo, his nephew Martin Crane, and godchildren Marco and Lara Greenberg. His daughter, actress Claire Lucido, passed away in 2021.
