Blake used a brown heart along with the picture. The Gossip Girl star’s husband Ryan Reynolds also shared a photograph of the late actor on his Instagram story.

Ernie worked in Hollywood for nearly 5 decades and left behind a legacy with his monumental work in various films and show including The Dukes of Hazzard, Turner & Hooch, Falcon Crest, Malibu Shores, The X-Files, The West Wing, That '70s Show, Murder, Mulholland Falls, The Beverly Hillbillies, Passenger 57, The Man in the Moon, Showdown in Little Tokyo, Air America, and Shocker.
