美国性格演员 Richard Riehle 已离世，享年78岁。他的经纪公司与管理团队10月19日向《今日美国》发联合声明证实这一消息，称他在刚刚过去的这个周末离世；据 TMZ 与《综艺》报道，他于10月15日在洛杉矶（Los Angeles）去世，友人向 TMZ 表示死因为自然原因。
声明说，Riehle 的演艺生涯横跨舞台、电影与电视近五十年，出演作品超过400部。声明称，他将被铭记的不仅是才华，还有对新兴演员与电影人的鼓励与支持，并请外界尊重其家人的隐私。
Riehle 1948年5月12日出生于威斯康星州 Menomonee Falls，先后在圣母大学取得学士学位、在明尼苏达大学取得艺术硕士学位，早年在地方剧场演出多年，1986年以百老汇剧作《Execution of Justice》登上百老汇舞台，1975年曾在约翰·韦恩主演的西部片《Rooster Cogburn》中出演未署名角色。1989年，他在南北战争史诗片《光荣》中饰演军需官一角打开局面，他生前称这一角色是自己演艺生涯的亮点之一。
让观众最熟悉的角色，是1999年职场讽刺喜剧《上班一条虫》中的产品经理 Tom Smykowski：他在片中被裁员后遭遇车祸获赔，转而追逐自创「跳到结论」垫子游戏的梦想。2001年至2005年，他在情景喜剧《Grounded for Life》五季中饰演 Walt Finnerty；该剧主演 Donal Logue 10月19日在社交媒体发文悼念，称他是出色的人与敬业的专业演员。

Character Actor Richard Riehle, Known as Tom Smykowski in 'Office Space,' Dies at 78 in Los Angeles
American character actor Richard Riehle has died at 78. His agency and management confirmed the news in a joint statement shared with USA Today on October 19, saying he died this past weekend; according to TMZ and Variety, he died on October 15 in Los Angeles, and friends told TMZ the cause was natural causes.
The statement said Riehle's career across theater, film and television spanned nearly five decades and more than 400 projects, and that beyond his talent he would be remembered for encouraging and supporting emerging actors and filmmakers. The statement asked that his family's privacy be respected.
Born May 12, 1948, in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, Riehle earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame and an MFA from the University of Minnesota. After years in regional theater, he made his Broadway debut in 1986 in 'Execution of Justice,' having earlier appeared in an uncredited role in the 1975 John Wayne western 'Rooster Cogburn.' His turn as a quartermaster in the 1989 Civil War epic 'Glory' became a breakthrough he later called a highlight of his career.
He was best known to many viewers as product manager Tom Smykowski in the 1999 workplace satire 'Office Space,' a laid-off employee who wins a settlement after a hit-and-run and pursues his 'Jump to Conclusions' mat idea. From 2001 to 2005 he played Walt Finnerty across five seasons of the sitcom 'Grounded for Life'; its star Donal Logue paid tribute on October 19, calling him an amazing human being and a consummate professional.
Riehle's other screen credits included 'Of Mice and Men,' 'The Fugitive,' 'Casino,' 'Bridesmaids' and 'Free Willy.' He played several roles across the 'Star Trek' franchise and portrayed Santa Claus in eight different projects. In 2026 he appeared in the films 'The Cowboy Killer' and 'Boris Is Dead.'
