'The Hangover' star Murray Gershenz, a record store owner turned actor, has died at the age of 91.
Gershenz started acting at the age of 80 and appeared in shows like 'Mad Men, 'House' and 'Modern Family'.
He was also the subject of 'Music Man Murray' (2011), a 22-minute documentary that showed the former opera singer and synagogue cantor struggling to find a buyer for the nearly half-million records he had collected and stored in a West Adams warehouse, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Gershenz sold the collection this year to someone from New York.
His most famous appearance was as Felix in 'The Hangover'. (2009) where Gershenz disrobes and has his private parts examined in a hilarious hospital scene.
Gershenz's first acting role came on a 2001 episode of 'Will & Grace'. His film work also included parts in 'Extreme Movie', 'Smashed' and this year's release 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone'.
