Actor Mick Graham, one of the stars of the iconic Chris Lilley series We Can Be Heroes, has died following a long illness.
Graham, who played “Terry” in the cult ABC mockumentary series, reportedly passed away on July 27.
Mick’s son Paddy confirmed his father’s death via social media.
“It is with great sadness we inform you of the passing of the amazing Mick Graham, also known as Terry from WCBH,” he wrote.
“We know how loved my father was in this community.
“Rest In Peace to an absolute legend.”
He went on to thank fans for their support during this difficult time.
Graham’s death comes exactly 20 years since We Can Be Heroes first went to air on the ABC in mid-2005 and introduced five of Lilley’s most famous characters.
The series follows five fictional “nominees” for Australian of the Year, including Perth mum of two Pat Mullins.
Graham appeared as Mullin’s beloved husband who coached his wife in her goal of “rolling” along the ground from Perth to Uluru for charity.
Throughout the series, Pat experienced some injuries and setbacks during training, including having a gumnut lodged up her nose.
“(Mick’s) emotions and acting throughout We Can Be Heroes, is genuinely some of the best I have ever seen!,” one fan of the series wrote.
“Chris, you are incredible at observing people and bringing them small details and mannerisms to life, But Terry’s acting is just incredible!”
“Mick played that role so well, he was just as funny as Chris in the duo of Terry and Pat, RIP,” another fan wrote.
