Actor Earl Holliman died Monday at the age of 96. His passing was confirmed by his spouse, Craig Curtis, to the Hollywood Reporter.

Holliman was born September 11, 1928, in Delhi, Louisiana. Holliman’s biological father died a few months before his birth. His mom gave him up for adoption and he was adopted by Henry Earl Holliman and Velma Holliman, an oil field worker and a waitress. His childhoods included years spent in Texas and Arkansas.

Holliman later praised his adoptive parents for lavishing him with love and instilling confidence in him.
