The actor is looking to raise funds to cover his expensive cancer treatment.

He will undergo surgery to remove part of his jaw, lymph nodes and a portion of bone from one of his legs.

The treatment plans include reconstructing his jaw from the bone removed from his leg, according to his GoFundMe.

This will be followed by radiation and possibly chemotherapy, meaning he will need at least six months to recover.

The actor, who lost his health insurance with the SAG-AFTRA actors union in January of last year, now has private insurance with a high deductible.
