His daughter, Jessica Napier, who acted alongside him on the show, spoke of her grief on Instagram.
"It is with great sadness that I share the passing of my beautiful dad Marshall Napier. After a short and intense battle with brain cancer he left us this morning. He was peaceful and surrounded by family.
"Dad you are one of a kind and I can't even understand what the world will be like without you in it.
"Your charisma and charm was second to none. Your creativity and intellect was my inspiration. I love you so much and feel completely lost without you. I'm glad that you can soar free of the pain and confusion. Love you always, Dinky xxxx."
Among those paying tribute was New Zealand actor and Packed to the Rafters star Erik Thomson.
"Oh dearest Jess, I am so sorry. What a man. This is big.
