Actor Mike Heslin, who was most famous for his part in Taylor Sheridan's Special Ops: Lioness, has passed away at the age of 30.
Heslin experienced a sudden heart issue and was brought to the hospital for a week. Unfortunately, he passed away on July 2nd.
Viewers will know Helin from his portrayal of Polo in two episodes of the inaugural season of Special Ops: Lioness in 2023. The series, developed by Yellowstone writer Sheridan, also featured Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman.
Heslin also appeared in the Lifetime film The Holiday Proposal Plan and The Influencers last year. Before that, in 2016, he guest starred on the Paramount+ show Younger, which features Hilary Duff.
The announcement of his passing was made by his spouse, Nicolas James Wilson, who is known as Scotty Dynamo online.
Michael was a young man who was in great shape, but the doctors couldn't figure out what happened. Wilson shared pictures of himself and Heslin, even including some from their wedding last November.
Wilson remembered how the actor who had passed away had "helped me get through many battles with cancer all by himself".
Later, he disclosed that the couple, who had been married for eight months, were intending to begin their own family.
"It was only a week ago when we were just beginning to talk about starting a family and would often discuss our top choices for baby names for our future children," he shared.

"You used to say that you were born to be a father, and I completely agree. You would be an amazing dad. If I ever have children, I will name my son after you and strive to raise him to be as great as you are."
Wilson continued to shower Heslin with compliments, emphasizing his kindness and generosity. He also pointed out that Heslin was a registered organ donor.
"It gives me comfort to know that by choosing to be a donor, you have provided the opportunity for four separate families to have a second chance at life," he penned.
We are three weeks from celebrating your birthday and four months from marking our first year as a married couple. Even though you are no longer with us, I take comfort in knowing that you are in a peaceful place, now watching over us as another angel in heaven.
He ended by saying, "Michael, as Shania Twain would say: I will love you 'forever and always.'"
