Australian actor and creative Nicholas Eadie has died aged 67. 

Born in 1958, the veteran TV and theatre performer was found at his home on Wednesday.

Fellow actor Will Conyers announced Eadie's death on social media, calling the actor a "generous soul". 

"I send my deepest sympathy to all those that were touched by this very special artist and human being," Conyers wrote on Facebook.

Eadie studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1980, and described himself as a "born and bred" Sydneysider in an interview with the Australian Arts Review in 2014.

Eadie starred alongside Nicole Kidman and Barry Otto in the 1987 miniseries Vietnam, for which he won an Australian Film Award.

The actor worked extensively in film, TV and theatre, appearing on stages for the Melbourne Theatre Company, Marion Street Theatre, the South Australian State Theatre Company and other Australian companies. 

He appeared in productions of Mamma Mia!, The Taming of the Shrew, The Crucible, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and many others.

His last credited theatre appearance was in a Mardi Gras festival production of Cock, at the Old Fitzroy Theatre in Sydney in 2015.

His final TV role was in the TV film Underbelly Files: The Man Who Got Away.
