Biff Wiff, a character actor whose screen appearances included several on the TV show I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson and one in the film Self Reliance (pictured above), has died.

“It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of our beloved client and actor Biff Wiff,” management company Entertainment Lab announced on Instagram on Friday, February 14. “Biff was an amazing person inside and out, and his loving energy could be felt by all. We are sending our heartfelt sympathies to his family [and] loved ones at this time.”

Wiff had been battling recurring cancer, according to a GoFundMe campaign that friends had organized to raise money for his treatment.

“Thank you so much for all the support,” he told donors in a June 2023 GoFundMe update. “It has really been lifting me up. I just couldn’t believe this kind of support would come my way. It’s been a crazy journey, working so much last year, and then having these symptoms come back.”
