Australian legendary actor and comedian, Bill Kerr, has passed away at 92.

The great actor and comedian died while watching a show on TV in his home in Perth. As reported by ABC news, Kerr died laughing while watching Seinfeld, which was one of his favourite shows as of late. The exact cause of the death has not yet been confirmed, but foul play has been ruled out.

The late actor was born in South Africa. He grew up in Wagga Wagga and New South Wales. He was born in a showbiz family, which allowed him to tag along in different places during their tour shows. His first stage appearance happened when has still a baby, as reported by Yahoonews.

"My mother took about 10 weeks off to have me, and when she returned to the stage the producers said rather than bother with a doll for the baby, why didn't she use me," Kerr admitted once to The West Australian editor Ron Banks in 1995.

Kerr began his career with ABC radio in 1932, playing child roles in shows. His acting debut happened when he took on the role of a blind youth in one of Australia's first talking pictures in 1934, which was called 'The Silence Of Dean Maitland'.

Kerr soon moved to Britain, but retained his Australian accent. Kerr enjoyed his greatest success in the 1950s and 1960s, appearing alongside comedy greats such as Sid James, Spike Milligan, Kenneth Williams and Peter Sellers. His career mainly focused on theatre work and radio. He landed several parts in movies as well.

His opening line, "I've only got four minutes", has been frequently quoted. This soon became part of his identity and recognized as his personal signature quirk. It even became a hit monologue in the theatre world.

He then established a career in radio. From 1954 to 1959, he played an important role in the BBC radio comedy series 'Hancock's Half Hour' as an Australian lodger, who was described as a dimwit character. He was also part of several early British films, such as 'The Dam Busters' and 'The Wrong Arm Of The Law'.

After his theatre, radio and film stunts in Britain, Kerr returned to settle in Australia in 1979. He has since then been recognized as a common face for character roles in Australian films. He worked on films like 'Gallipoli' and 'The Year Of Living Dangerously' during this period of his life. During his later years, he provided voice overs for various short films and documentaries.
