He was a part of Miranda, Little Britain, the 2014 film The Confusion of Tongues and the 2017 film Finding Fatimah. But the Welsh actor is best known for playing the deadpan accountant at the fictional paper company Wernham Hogg Keith Bishop in the UK version of the sitcom The Office.
The cause of his death is not known.
The Office creator Ricky Gervais, who also collaborated with the late actor for the Netflix series After Life, took to X to express grief over MacIntosh's passing.
