Trebor had been battling leukemia since 2012 and underwent a stem-cell transplant the following year.

The star passed away on March 11, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Trebor stole scenes across 20 episodes of Hercules between 1995 and 1999, and crossed over to Xena: Warrior Princess for four more.

Originally hired for just two episodes, his pitch-perfect portrayal of the materialistic but well-meaning Salmoneus quickly made him a regular.
