Hagerty lék síðast í þáttunum Somebody, Somewhere. Það var meðleikkona hans í þáttunum, Bridget Everett, sem greindi frá andláti leikarans en hún lék dóttur hans.
„Ég varð ástfangin af Mike um leið og ég hitti hann,“ sagði Everett á Instagram. „Hann var svo sérstakur. Hlýr, fyndinn, hitti aldrei ókunnuga. Við erum miður okkar að hann sé farinn.“
Hagerty fór oftast með gamanhlutverk og birtist meðal annars í Seinfeld og Brooklyn Nine-Nine en einnig ER og Deadwood.
Fjöldi leikara og annarra í sjónvarps- og kvikmyndaiðnaðinum hafa minnst Hagerty á samfélagsmiðlum.

Mike Hagerty had the best presence in real life and onscreen. A joy to work with him in the Near Future . He played an assassin who couldn t work his gun. Great man https://t.co/9pzmeydv02

Sad to hear of the passing of Second City stalwart and character actor Mike Hagerty, recently seen as the dad on "Somebody Somewhere" on @HBO. Mike had the classic Chicago mustache and accent, and a natural onscreen presence. He always came to play. pic.twitter.com/ZrAxcOBs59
