The family of Twin Peaks star Owen Rhys Davies has expressed its condolences following the actor's death at the age of 44.
Cardiff-born Davies died "suddenly, naturally and peacefully," his brother Rhodri said on Instagram.
He added that he was "incredibly proud" of his brother and "we know this loss will be felt by so many people, and we are comforted by the thought of how much he was loved.".
Rodri said there were "unanswered questions regarding the circumstances of his death" but asked for privacy.
Davis is best known for his role as Agent Wilson in the Twin Peaks reboot, a revival of the popular 1990s series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost that aired in 2017.
He also starred in the Netflix sci-fi drama The OA, alongside Brit Marling and Jason Isaacs, as well as Alice Through the Looking Glass and the satirical horror film A Serial Killer's Guide to Life.
A statement on the Twin Peaks Instagram page said: "Our condolences go out to his family, friends and everyone who knew and loved him.".
«"Thank you for being a part of the Twin Peaks world, Agent Wilson.".
The National Theatre Wales also paid tribute, releasing a statement that read: "Owen was a remarkable talent whose work enriched Welsh theatre and film, and whose contribution to the performing arts will be remembered by audiences, colleagues, and friends. His passion, creativity, and dedication left an indelible mark on the cultural life of Wales.".
«"The Welsh performing arts community is poorer for his loss and we can only imagine how many more stories he could have told.".
«Cysga'n dawel, Owain.»
