The actor’s family and former acting colleagues paid their last respects on social media. Hawaii Five-0 Star Peter Lenkov, who was close to Wily, wrote a touching tribute on his Instagram: “T, as I’ve told you many times, I fell in love with you at the first audition. You came in with a towel on your head, wiping away the sweat, and I was blown away.”

“You made me want to make you a regular… on the show… and in my life. You were family. And I’ll miss you every day, brother,” Peter continued. “PS: When we spoke last week, we laughed about how right you were from day one.” Five-0 was our dream job. And I was so lucky that we were able to experience this magic together.”
