Robert Hegyes, who played Juan Luis Pedro Philippo DeHuevos Epstein on 1970s hit "Welcome Back, Kotter," has died at 60.

The actor died of a heart attack at his New Jersey home on Thursday, Gossip Cop reports.

Hegyes' Epstein was one of the Sweathogs, remedial wisecracking students taught by Gabe Kotter (Gabe Kaplan). His character, a Puerto Rican Jew, was known for always attempting to pass off notes he himself would write to get out of tests or class, always signing the notes "Epstein's Mother."
