Actor Richard Lynch, famous for his roles in countless sci-fi series and horror films, has died at the age of 76, his rep confirms to Fox411.com.

"It's with deep sorrow that I learned last night that my client and friend Richard Lynch was found dead at his home in Palm Springs, CA," Mike Baronas told Fox411 in a statement.

Lynch made a name for himself in Hollywood playing the role of villains and nemeses due to his distinctive appearance. Lynch reportedly suffered scarring in 1967 after he accidentally set himself on fire while under the influence of LSD. It later became part of his signature look in the more than 100 film and television appearances he made, including films like "Scarecrow" and Rob Zombie's "Halloween," as well as in shows like "Battlestar Galactica" and "The A-Team."

Lynch's body was found by actress Carol Vogel, Baronas said. After not hearing from Lynch for several days, she stopped by his home Tuesday to find the door ajar.
