Iconic TV actor Sherman Hemsley -- best known for his role as George Jefferson on All in the Family and its spinoff, The Jeffersons -- has died, TMZ reports. He was 74.



Citing El Paso, Texas police sources, the site reports Hemsley passed away at his home in the area. Additional circumstances were not immediately available.

Starting his entertainment industry career with a stint on Broadway's Purlie, Hemsley assumed the role of George Jefferson in 1973, alongside Isabel Sanford's Louise "Weezy" Jefferson.
