Kallsen’s death was announced on Facebook by Dorrian’s Red Hand founder Michael Dorrian. The restaurateur was an old friend of the actor, who frequented his bar on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

“R.I.P. My old friend. Nick Kallsen. Sadly passed away earlier this month,” Dorrian wrote last week in a Facebook update. “Will always remember the good times, a big part of my past has gone and breaks my heart.”
