LOS ANGELES, August 26: 'Ray Donovan' actor Jay Thomas has lost his battle with cancer. He was 69.
The news comes from his agent and longtime friend Don Buchwald, reports nydailynews.com.
"Jay was one of a kind, never at a loss for words and filled with so much fun and wonderfully whacky thoughts and behavior," said Buchwald, who repped Thomas for 35 years.

According to Buchwald, "Sally and the boys were the true passion of his life".
