Comedian and producer John Cornell has died aged 80 following a battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Cornell is best known for his role as Strop in The Paul Hogan Show, having begun his association with Hogan while working as a producer on A Current Affair.

According to a statement from his family, he died peacefully at his home in Byron Bay on Nsw North Coast with his wife and eldest daughter by his side, and his youngest daughter on the phone from the UK.

Born in Kalgoorlie, Cornell began his career in print journalism at Perth’s Daily News before turning his attention to television and becoming the original producer for A Current Affair.

It was while working on the show that he teamed up with a then unknown Paul Hogan, forming a partnership that would be responsible for not only The Paul Hogan Show, but the internationally successful Crocodile Dundee films.
