Jenkins, best known for his roles in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Fletch, died suddenly on April 25 in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor first broke onto the small screen in 1978 playing the role of Lester in TV movie Crisis in the Valley. He appeared on several television shows before transitioning to film and landing the role of the attendant's co-pilot in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where he famously took Cameron's (Alan Ruck) father's Ferrari for a joyride.
Most recently, Jenkins was working on two films called The Gospel Truth and Anna Lucasta, both of which he wrote, directed, produced and starred in. He was also at the helm of two production companies: Flashworks Productions and Gold Coast Productions.
