He was also well known for his role as Harry “Grouty” Grout in BBC’s sitcom Porridge, a character who was a fan favorite despite appearing in only three episodes of the show.
Vaughan’s agent, Sally Long-Innes, confirmed the news on Tuesday, according to The Deadline.
She said: “This is to confirm that very sadly Peter Vaughan has passed away at approximately 10.30 [GMT] this morning. He died peacefully with his family around him.”
Vaughan had a career that spanned across seven decades and, while seldom playing leading roles, he featured frequently on stage, screen and television in roles ranging from police officers to villains.
