A Scots actor who had a role in Mel Gibson's hit Braveheart has died aged 65.
Aberdonian Mike Mitchell is believed to have died of natural causes while on a boat in Turkey, TMZ have reported.
The Daily Mirror reports his rep telling TMZ: "It was very hard to believe ... The sudden death of an international actor we managed, an honest person, a real actor, a true friend, my dear friend, has saddened us deeply.
"I've always been honored to be your manager. I wish patience to you wife, dear Denise Mitchell, and your children.
"Getting to know you and gaining your friendship is invaluable. Sleep in the lights. RIP."
The Scot first got his big break in acting in 1994 when he was cast in Braveheart, before going on to appear in Gladiator, The Planet, City of Hell, Life on the Line, One Day Removals and - surprisingly - Emmerdale.
Before becoming an actor he rose to the top as a bodybuilder by winning Mr Universe and a number of other fitness competitions and titles.
In 2006 Mitchell suffered a serious heart attack after winning his fifth World Fitness title.
He leaves behind his wife and children.
