Tributes have been paid to veteran Hollywood actor Norman Lloyd following his death at the age of 106.

During his 90-year career in the entertainment industry, Norman made appearances in a number of high-profile films, with his early work including the Alfred Hitchcock offerings Saboteur and Spellbound.

He also appeared in the TV series St Elsewhere for six years and acted alongside Robin Williams in the film Dead Poets Society.

Since news broke that Norman had died in his sleep on Tuesday, a number of his fellow actors and those who knew him have been paying tribute.

Judd Apatow – who directed Norman in Trainwreck – wrote on Instagram: “Norman Lloyd loved to tell stories and make people laugh... Every moment with Norman was special.

“He loved to tell this story about his wife Peggy. She was in bed and was very ill. She said to him ‘Norman, how long have we been married?’. He replied, ‘seventy years’. She said, ‘I think we’re going to make it’. I miss him already.”

Amy Schumer also shared a photo of Norman on set, writing: “We will miss you.”

Got to meet Norman Lloyd once about 20 years ago, when he was a mere pup of 86. Run your eye down the man's credits as an actor & director and salute the Real Deal. RIP.
