Terence Bayler, the actor known for his performance in Monty Python’s Life of Brian, has died. He was 86 years old.

Bayler played Gregory in Life of Brian, a comedy about a Jewish man named Brian who is mistaken for the Messiah. During a moment when several prisoners claim to be Brian, Bayler stole the scene by yelling, “I’m Brian and so’s my wife!’

Bayler was born in Wanganui, New Zealand in 1930. His father worked as a stagehand and would give him free tickets to shows, inspiring his career. In the ’50s he moved to London, making his West End debut in Villa Sleep Four in 1960.

He collaborated with fellow Monty Python actor Eric Idle in Rutland Weekend Television and The Rutles: All You Need is Cash as manager Leggy Mountbatten in the mockumentary about a popular band.

His film and TV career began in 1952 when he starred in Broken Barrier. He was in You Can’t Win, The Hi-Jackers, Doctor Who, The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes, Upstairs, Downstairs, Time Bandits, All at Number 20, She-Wolf of London, Lipstick on Your Collar, The Remains of the Day, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and Father’s Day. His final onscreen performance was in the We Know What We Know short in 2010.
