As TMZ first reported … friends of Richard told us he died of natural causes on October 15 in Los Angeles.

Richard was a Hollywood veteran with more than 400 acting credits to his name … but fans probably remember him best as Tom Smykowski in the 1999 cult classic “Office Space.”

His character famously gets laid off from Initech before a freak accident lands him a massive settlement … allowing him to pursue his dream of creating the “Jump to Conclusions” mat.
