Actor Tom Bosley of "Happy Days" dies: Actor Tom Bosley, whose career spanned five decades and included his role as the father of a typical American family on popular 1970s TV comedy "Happy Days," has died at 83, according to media reports on Tuesday.

Celebrity news website TMZ cited family members as saying Bosley died at his home in Palm Springs, California and recently he had been battling a staph infection.

A spokesman for Bosley was not immediately available for confirmation.

Bosley's everyday manner and looks helped him forge a career in Hollywood as a character actor and guest star in a number of popular 1960s television shows such as "Route 66," "Dr. Kildare," "Marcus Welby, M.D." and "Bonanza."

But it was on the long-running "Happy Days" that he enjoyed his biggest success, playing the father of the show's central character Richie Cunningham, who was a teenager growing up in the 1950s.

"Happy Days" ran from 1974 to 1984 and was a smash hit series that made Henry Winkler (Fonzie) a major Hollywood star and sparked the adult success of Ron Howard, who played Richie and would later go on to a career as a film director.

When the show ended, Bosley returned to character work on TV with roles in numerous popular series such as "The Love Boat" and "Murder, She Wrote." He continued working well into the 2000s with parts in series such as "That '70s Show."

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Sad times. I loved him in Happy Days and was quite surprised at the amount of shows that he had appeared in since playing Mr. C.

Yeah I agree, it was more like a film, actually pretty ahead of its time (for a TV comedy). I guess the network/audiences did not like it as much and they went to a cheesier sitcom format. Still it was a good show for a while.

I loved the later years where Mr. C just stopped caring about the show being a period piece and he wore modern shades and what looked like a digital watch lol

The last time I've seen Tom Mosley on TV, he was a spokesperson for a life insurance company.

I just posted on my Facebook page that I wished Nickelodeon or TV Land would show a marathon of "Happy Days" in honor of Tom Bosley. Wouldn't that be cool?
