“I am heartbroken to share that my father passed away at home on June 27th, after a valiant fight against a long illness," his daughter wrote."He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials.

Known for his blonde hair and well-trimmed mustache, Mull was born in Chicago, raised in Ohio and Connecticut and studied art in Rhode Island and Rome. He combined his music and comedy in hip Hollywood clubs in the 1970s. “In 1976 I was a guitar player and sit-down comic appearing at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip when Norman Lear walked in and heard me," Mull told The Associated Press in 1980. “He cast me as the wife beater on ‘Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.’ Four months later I was spun off on my own show.”
Mull, who played Roseanne's gay boss Leon Carp on the hit 1990s sitcom, was also known for recurring roles on"Two and a Half Men,""Arrested Development" and"Veep," for which he was nominated for an Emmy in 2016.
