Paul John Vasquez, who played roles in "Sons of Anarchy," "CSI: NY," "How I Met Your Mother" and "ER," has died aged 48.

"The surprising news of this loss weighs heavy on our hearts," Vasquez's publicist, Nicole Rodriguez, said in a statement. "Paul was a creative and talented man with a great spirit. He will be missed."

Vasquez starred in two episodes of "Sons of Anarchy" in 2011, and also appeared on "Justified" and "NYPD Blue," according to his IMDB page.
