Driscoll’s life-long friend and fellow actor Jimmy Palumbo confirmed his death to PEOPLE. He describes him as “a real talent.”
“He could do it all – sing, dance, act, comedy,” Palumbo says. “He worked all the time. He was always booking work. Everyone that worked with him loved him.”

Driscoll had worked at two karaoke bars in California, Dimples, which is now closed but Palumbo describes as the “first karaoke bar in the world, really,” and Fox Fire Room, alongside his acting career.
A memorial in his honor was hosted and Palumbo says “so many people showed up. I call it the underbelly of L.A. showbiz. There were stars in the room, there were working actors, but there was also this underbelly… His friend base was pretty interesting.”
