Peter Spellos, a star in the TV series American dreams and a voice on the animated series “Transformers,” died early Sunday of complications from pancreatic cancer.
According to his friend and acting student Jennifer Smith, he was at the Francisca Hospice House in Indianapolis, Indiana.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my dear friend Peter Spellos at 02:30 this morning,” friend Fred Olen wrote on Facebook. “Many of you knew Peter personally. He had more loving friends than there are stars in the sky. There has never been a gentler giant. A talented actor, teacher and wise old owl. He always made me laugh. I can’t even remember how many movies we did together, but they would probably fill a book… maybe one day. See your friend.”
Spelllos lent his voice to the character Sky-Byte Transformers: Robots in Disguise Cartoon. He played the role for 39 episodes.
His other acting credits include his portrayal of Motorman Men in Black II and Gus on the NBC TV show American dreams.
He is survived by his brother James Spellos. The family is planning an online memorial service for him, but details are not yet available.
