Kolkata, Mar 18 (IBNS): Bengali actor Chinmoy Roy, who was known for his comic roles, passed away on Sunday.

He was 79.

According to reports, he died of heart failure.

Though he was known for portraying various character roles, Roy is equally at ease in portraying the famous fictional character Tenida on screen.

He held his own among prominent performers like Soumitra Chatterjee, Robi Ghose and Tarun Kumar in the comedies Basanto Bilap, Dhonni Meye, and Nanigopaler Biye.

He was also seen in a small role in Satyajit Ray's Goopy Gyne o Bagha Byne, in which he portrayed a spy working for the Minister of Halla.
