Miguel Ferrer, the actor who played Silvermane on The Spectacular Spider-Man, has passed away this morning in Los Angeles following a battle with throat cancer. Ferrer's cousin George Clooney said in a statement, "Today history will mark giant changes in our world, and lost to most will be that on the same day Miguel Ferrer lost his battle to throat cancer. But not lost to his family. Miguel made the world brighter and funnier, and his passing is felt so deeply in our family that events of the day, (monumental events), pale in comparison. We love you Miguel. We always will."

Ferrer was known for his gravely voice, playing numerous villain roles though certainly not limited to them. He had minor roles in works like CHiPs and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. He had major roles in films like RoboCop, Walt Disney Animation Studios's Mulan, and Rio 2. He appeared on television with Twin Peaks, The stand, Young Justice, and most recently NCIS: Los Angeles. The revival of Twin Peaks, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract are set to release his last work posthumously.
